A school band ordered hats for $3 and large t-shirts for $5. They bought 150 items in all for $590.

Graph a system of equations to find how many hats and t-shirts the band ordered.

Answer (2)

h=hats s=shirts Here, you need to do 2 equations. h+s=150 3h+5s=590 3h+5(150-h)=590 3h+750-5h=590 -2h=-160 h=80 150-80=70 so s=70
i am sorry, this is all i know, but you need to make an equation to graph it.

The school band ordered 80 hats and 70 t-shirts. This was determined by setting up a system of equations based on the total number of items and total cost. We solved these equations to find the quantities of each item ordered.
