1 answer:
If you let j, c, t represent the prices of jeans, camisoles, and t-shirts, respectively, the three purchases can be described by ...
2j +2c +4t = 90.00
1j +0c +3t = 42.50
1j +3c +2t = 62.00
It is convenient to let a calculator solve these equations. It can tell you the row-reduced matrix equations are ...
[[1 0 0 24.5]
[0 1 0 8.5 ]
[0 0 1 6 ]]

flare jeans cost $24.50
camisoles cost $8.50
