RITMEKSGO

Number of hats is 5 and the number of sweatshirts is 20

The total number of items bought is 25

The total amount is $172.50

Let a represent the number of sweatshirts

Number of hats is 25-a

Cost of sweatshirt= 8x

Cost of hat= 2.50×(25-x)

= 62.50-2.5x

8x + 62.50 - 2.5x-172.50

8x-2.5x+62.50-172.50

5.5x -110

5.5x= 110

x= 110/5.5

= 20

Number of hats= 25-20, = 5

Number of sweatshirts= 20
