The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the cost of a half-sleeve shirt be \( x \) (in Rs). Then, the cost of a full-sleeve shirt would be \( x + 75 \) (since it costs Rs 75 more than the half-sleeve shirt). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, the total cost of 4 full-sleeve shirts and 5 half-sleeve shirts is Rs 2325. We can express this as: \[ 4 \times (x + 75) + 5 \times x = 2325 \] ### Step 3: Expand the Equation Now, let's expand the equation: \[ 4(x + 75) + 5x = 2325 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x + 300 + 5x = 2325 \] ### Step 4: Combine Like Terms Combine the terms involving \( x \): \[ (4x + 5x) + 300 = 2325 \] This gives us: \[ 9x + 300 = 2325 \] ### Step 5: Isolate the Variable Now, we need to isolate \( x \) by subtracting 300 from both sides: \[ 9x = 2325 - 300 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9x = 2025 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by 9 to find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{2025}{9} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 225 \] ### Step 7: Find the Cost of Each Shirt Now that we have \( x \), we can find the cost of each shirt: - Cost of half-sleeve shirt = \( x = 225 \) Rs - Cost of full-sleeve shirt = \( x + 75 = 225 + 75 = 300 \) Rs ### Final Answer - Cost of half-sleeve shirt = Rs 225 - Cost of full-sleeve shirt = Rs 300 ---
