Suzy buys 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for 42 dollars at the store. annette buys 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for 37 dollars.
create a system of equations that can be used to solve for the cost of the shirts and pants.

3s + p = 37
2s + 2p = 42

s + 3p = 37
2s + 2p = 37

s + 3p = 42
2s + 2p = 37

3s + p = 42

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of one shirt be s and the cost price of one pair pants is p.

Suzy buys 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for 42 dollars at the store. It means

Annette buys 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for 37 dollars. It means

The system of equation is defined as

            .... (1)

            .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2), we get

p=13, s=8

Therefore the correct option is 1.
