Answer:
The price for one hat was $5 and the price for one scarf was $4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the price for one scarf in dollars
y ----> the price for one hat in dollars
we know that
Dakota bought 2 scarves and 1 hat for $13
so
[tex]2x+y=13[/tex] ----> equation A
Kristina bought 1 scarf and two hats for $14
so
[tex]x+2y=14[/tex] ----> equation B
Solve the system by elimination
Multiply by -2 both sides equation B
[tex]-2(x+2y)=-2(14)[/tex]
[tex]-2x-4y=-28[/tex] ----> equation C
Adds equation A and equation C
[tex]2x+y=13\\-2x-4y=-28\\---------\\y-4y=13-28\\-3y=-15\\y=5[/tex]
Find the value of x
substitute the value of y in any equation
equation B
[tex]x+2(5)=14\\x=14-10\\x=4[/tex]
therefore
The price for one hat was $5 and the price for one scarf was $4
