Calculate the total value of the clothes sold in the shop on this day.

Answer 1

Explicación paso a paso:

let the cost of women clothes be "5x"

and so

5x+4x+2x=2200

11x=2200 x= 200

since women clothes are 5x then 5*200 equals

1000$

2) Total:

2*200 = 400$ for men

5*200 = 1000$ for women

4*200 = 800 for children

total 2200$
