not including tax, 14 pieces of clothing cost $107. pants cost $12.50 and shirts cost $4.00. no other types of clothes were purchased. which system of equations could be used to solve for the number of pants (p) and the number of shirts (s) bought?

a)
p+s=107
12.5p+4s=14

b)
p+s=14
12.5p+4s=107

c)
p+s=16.5
12.5p+4s=14

d)
16.5(p+s)=14
12.5p+4s=107

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pants be represented by = p

Let the shirts be represented by = s

Pants cost $12.50 means 12.50p and shirts cost $4.00 means 4s

As given, 14 pieces of clothing costs the above values, so first equation becomes :
