    I have bought 4 shirts and 6 pants.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let I have bought x number of shirts and y number of pants.

    So, the two equation that we can write from the given conditions are

    x + y = 10 ... (1) and

    24x + 32y = 288 ... (2)

    Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get

    24x + 32 (10 - x) = 288

    ⇒ 8x = 320 - 288 = 32

    ⇒ x = 4

    And y = (10 - 4) = 6

    Therefore, I have bought 4 shirts and 6 pants. (Answer)
