[tex]Let \: x \: be \: the \: price \: of \: a \: hat, \: y \: be \: the \: price \: of \: a \: T-shirt, \: and \: z \: be \: the \: price \: of \: a \: jacket. \: We \: have \: a \: system \: of \: equations: \\ 3x + 2y + z = 140 \\ x + y + z = 85 \\ x + 3y + 2z = 180 \\ x = 15 \\ y = 25 \\ z = 45. \\ So \: the \: price \: of \: a \: hat \: is \: 15, \: a \: T-shirt \: is \: 25 \: and \: a \: jacket \: is \: 45.[/tex]
