Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image can be solved using a system of linear equations. Let's define the variables:
- Let be the price of one pair of shoes.
- Let be the price of one pair of sandals.
We are given two pieces of information in the problem:
-
The price of 2 pairs of shoes and 3 pairs of sandals is Rp 175,000:
-
The price of 3 pairs of shoes and 4 pairs of sandals is Rp 255,000:
Now we have the system of equations:
2x + 3y &= 175,000 \\ 3x + 4y &= 255,000 \end{aligned}$$ We will solve this system to find $$x$$ (the price of one pair of shoes) and $$y$$ (the price of one pair of sandals). Once we find these values, we can calculate the price of one pair of shoes and two pairs of sandals, which is: $$x + 2y$$ Let's calculate this now.The solution to the system of equations gives: - The price of one pair of shoes ($$x$$) is Rp 65,000. - The price of one pair of sandals ($$y$$) is Rp 15,000. Therefore, the price of one pair of shoes and two pairs of sandals ($$x + 2y$$) is: $$65,000 + 2(15,000) = 95,000$$ Thus, the correct answer is **Rp 95,000** (option b).
