The total cost of a sweater and a jacket was $71.55 If the price of the sweater was $3.19 less than the jacket, what was the price of the sweater? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to two places.

$34.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the Jacket = $x and

The cost of the sweater. = $y

Now total price. = $71.55.

So, $x + $y. = $71.55 -- 1

From the second statements, the price of the sweater was $3.19 less than the price of the jacket. Transforming that into equation

y = ( x - $3.19 )

Now substitute for y in the equation (1) above.

x + ( x - 3.19 ) = 71.55

Now solve the equation

x + x - 3.19 = 71.55

2x - 3.19. = 71.55

2x = 71.55 + 3.19

2x. = 74.74

x = 74.74/2

= $37.37. cost of the jacket

Now to determine the cost of the sweater,

$71.55 - $37.37 = $34.18

The cost of the sweater = $34.18.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
