A sports apparel supplier offers teams the option of purchasing extra apparel for players. A volleyball team purchases 15 jackets and 12 pairs of sweatpants for $348. A basketball team purchases 8 jackets and 8 pairs of sweatpants for $200. Let x represent the price of a jacket and let y represent the price of a pair of sweatpants. Which system of equations can be used to find the price of each item?
Accepted Solution
A:
The system of equation is: 15x+12y=348, 8x+8y=200. The price of a jacket times number of jackets means the amount of money spent on jackets, and same for sweatpants. Their sum is the total amount of money spent.
