Question

Jarek buys jerseys for his team online. He pays a constant shipping price plus a special rate for each jersey. During the spring season, Jarek paid $151 for 24 jerseys. In the summer season, he paid $79 for 12 jerseys. What is the special rate Jarek pays for each jersey and how much does he pay for shipping? Thanks to anyone who can help!

Answer 1

Let “x” be the rate of shipping and let “y” as the special rate for each jersey.

The equation for the spring season order is given by:

Eq. 1 x + 24(y) = $151

The equation for the summer season order is given by:

Eq. 2 x + 24(y) = $151

We then equate the Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 and solve for x and y.

x = $7 ; y = $6

Hope my answer would be a great help for you.
