Question 22.
Eva spent \$48 on a shirt and a pair of pants. The pants cost twice as much as the shirt. How much did each item cost?
Let s stand for the cost of the shirt.
Equation: ______ s = _______
The shirt cost ______. The pants cost _____
The total amount of money spent on both the shirts and pants = 48
Let us assume the Cost of the Shirt = s
Given Cost of pants is two times of shirts = 2s
Hence the Equation is: s + 2s = 48
3s = 48
s= 16
Therefore the cost of shirts spent = 16
