Answer:
The equation representing his shopping scenario;
y = 250 - x
where; y = $50 and x = $200
Step-by-step explanation:
let the cost of a pair of shoes = x
then, the cost of Hoodies, y = (¹/₄)x
The total cost of Andrew's shoes and hoodies should be equal to the amount he has to spend.
Total amount he has to spend = $250
x + y = $250
x + (¹/₄)x = 250
[tex]\frac{4x + x}{4} = 250\\\\ \frac{5x}{4} = 250\\\\5x = 1,000\\\\x = \frac{1,000}{5}\\\\x = \$ 200[/tex]
the cost of Hoodies, y = (¹/₄)x
y = (¹/₄)($200)
y = $50
