3b+5s = 214.5
4b+3s = 181.5 ①

2s - b = 214.5-181.5 = 33 ③
8s - 4b = 4×33 = 132 ②

① + ② → = 11s = 181.5+132 = 313.5
s = 313.5÷11 = 28.5

③ 2s - b = 33 → b = 2×28.5-33 = 24

1s+1b = 28.5+24 = 52.5 (Ans)

Error in the addition of ① and ②. You added ② and ③ instead.


It should be :

11s = 132 + 181.50 = 313.50

s = 313.50 ÷ 11 = 28.50


③ also got error. It should be b = 2s - 33 and not 33 - 2s.


b = 2 × 28.50 - 33

= 57 - 33
= 24

So,

b + s = 24 + 28.50 = 52.50

It might seem impossible, but you can always make one of them to the same thing. In this case, i made both sum of money have the same number of blouse, leaving me with the difference in the sums for the skirts.

The multiplication of the first equation is incorrect.

$214.50 × 4 = $858, not $1716

Subsequently,

11S = $858 - $544.50

11S = $313.50

S = $313.50 ÷ 11 = $28.50

No worries. Sorry for the wrong multiplication - 4 x 214.50 is 858.
