Lyla Potts · Answer 1

9 pairs of jeans and 12 shirts were sold each day

Step-by-step explanation:

On Friday, receipts totaled $441

Selling price for each pair of jeans = $25

Selling price for 9 pairs of jeans = 9*$25 = $225

Selling price for each shirt = $18

Selling price for 12 shirts = 12*$18 = $216

Total receipts = $225 + $216 = $441

On Saturday, total receipts = $420 and it sold the same quantity as Friday at a sales of $20 for both items

Selling price of 9 pairs of jeans = 9*$20 = $180

Selling price for 12 shirts = 12*$20 = $240

Total receipts = $180+$240 = $420
