PLZZ HELP IM REALLY NOT GOOD AT THIS. Missy Elliot loves to shop at Neiman Marcus last Saturday she bought pants and shirts for her new video each shirt cost $125 and each pair of pants cost $225 she came home with 26 items and spent exactly $4950 how many pants and shirts did Missy by

17 pants and 9 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

questions like this require you to guess numbers first then adjust them as needed. I originally guessed 20 pants and 6 shirts, however the number was too high, so I put less pants, since they're the higher number. if the number was too low you would use less shirts since they're the lower number. after a couple of tries you'll get

(225 × 17) + (125 × 9) = 4950

but seriously who spends almost 5000 dollars on clothes from one store in one outing, that's so much money

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
