Suzy buys 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for 42 dollars at the store. Annette buys 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for 37 dollars.

Create a system of equations that can be used to solve for the cost of the shirts and pants.



3s + p = 37

2s + 2p = 42


s + 3p = 37

2s + 2p = 37


s + 3p = 42

2s + 2p = 37


3s + p = 42

Verified Answer :

2s+2p = 42,
3s+p = 37,

2 shirts at 8 = 16,
2 pants at 13 = 26.

Hope this helps. 

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of one shirt be s and the cost price of one pair pants is p.

Suzy buys 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for 42 dollars at the store. It means

\(2s+2p=42\)

Annette buys 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for 37 dollars. It means

\(3s+1p=37\)

The system of equation is defined as

\(3s+p=37\)             .... (1)

\(2s+2p=42\)             .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2), we get

p=13, s=8

Therefore the correct option is 1.
