Jen bought some shirts from Store A for $15 each and a pair of pants for $45. Stacey bought some shirts at Store B for $20 each and a pair of pants for $35. How many shirts would each girl have to buy in order for them to have spent the same amount of money?

Comparing the total cost of both girls, the number of shirts each will have to purchase in other to spend the same amount ls 2 shirts.

Let the number of shirts = b

Jen's cost :

Stacy's cost :

To spend the same amount :

Equate (1) and (2) :

15b + 45 = 20b + 35

Collect like terms :

15b - 20b = 35 - 45

-5b = - 10

b = 10/5

b = 2

Therefore, each girl will have to buy 2 shirts.
