Answer 2

dresses cost $84.50 each
t-shirts cost $12.50 each
handbags cost $34.99 each
pants cost $42.99 each

Answer 3

1 t- shirt cost 12.50 so 6 t-shirts $75 (6*$12.5)
pants cost $42.99 so 2 pairs will cost $85.98
1 handbag $34.99 ,
1 dress $84.50
let the price oh hats be x , then 2 hats cost 2x
it's given her total bill is 338.90
so
\[2x+75+85.98+34.99+84.50=338.90\]
this is the equation which can be used to find cost of hat, which is x
\[2x=338.90-75-85.98-34.99-84.50\]
\[2x=58.43\]
\[x=29.215\]
so the cost of each hat is $29.215

Answer 4

c)
\[Total bill+ taxes =338.90+338.90*\frac {7.25}{100}\]

d) total cost=$363.47025
