Antoine goes to the mall to buy new shoes and jerseys. He pays a set rate per pair of shoes and a set rate per jersey, and he pays more per jersey than he pays per pair of shoes. His total spending can be modeled by the equation 35x+55y

Question

. (1 point)
Antoine spends $ _ per pair of shoes.

Answer 1

In the given equation \(35x + 55y\), where \(x\) represents the number of pairs of shoes and \(y\) represents the number of jerseys, we can see that the coefficients indicate the prices per item.

• The coefficient of \(x\), which is 35, represents the cost per pair of shoes.
• The coefficient of \(y\), which is 55, represents the cost per jersey.

Therefore, Antoine spends $35 per pair of shoes.
