Let
the price of shirt = x
the price of sweater = y
Maggie total price can be represented below
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+2y=86 \\ x+y=43 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Mia total price can be represented below
[tex]3x+y=81[/tex]
Combine the equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=43 \\ 3x+y=81_{} \\ y=43-x \\ 3x+43-x=81 \\ 2x=81-43 \\ 2x=38 \\ x=\frac{38}{2} \\ x=19 \\ 19+y=43 \\ y=43-19 \\ y=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Price of a shirt = $19
price of a sweater = $24
