you are spending $144 for new sweaters, T-shirts, and pants. Sweaters(s) cost $28, T-shirts (t) $14 and pants (p) cost $23 each. Which equation represents this situation
Let's represent the number of sweaters, T-shirts, and pants as variables, namely s, t, and p respectively.
Since sweaters cost $28 each and you are spending $144, the total cost of sweaters would be 28s.
Similarly, the total cost of T-shirts would be 14t, and the total cost of pants would be 23p.
Therefore, the equation representing this situation would be:
28s + 14t + 23p = 144
Let's represent the number of sweaters, T-shirts, and pants as "s," "t," and "p" respectively.
Since the cost of each sweater is $28, the total cost of all the sweaters can be represented as "28s".
Similarly, the total cost of all the T-shirts can be represented as "14t", and the total cost of all the pants can be represented as "23p".
We know that the total cost of everything is $144. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation can be written as:
28s + 14t + 23p = 144
