Question

George collected $48 for selling 5 sweatshirts and 2 T-shirts. Toni collected $32 for selling 3 sweatshirts and 2 T-shirts. How do I put this in Substitution method?

Answer 1

What you can do is make it into one equation. $80=8 sweatshirts + 4 t-shirts (so in total 12 items were sold)
8/12=75% 4/12=25%
(.75)x80= 60 (.25)x80=20
60=8s (s=sweatshirts)
20=4t (t=T-shirts)
60/8=$7.5 for sweatshirts
20/4=$5 for T-shirts

Answer 2

that makes no since what so ever
