1. Problem Description

A woman bought 3 shirts and 4 skirts and paid 780.00780.00. A shirt costs 15.0015.00 more than a skirt. We need to find the cost of a skirt.

2. Solution Steps

Let the cost of a skirt be ss.
Then the cost of a shirt is s+15s + 15.
The total cost of 3 shirts and 4 skirts is 780.00780.00.
We can write the equation:
3(s+15)+4s=7803(s + 15) + 4s = 780
Expanding the equation, we get:
3s+45+4s=7803s + 45 + 4s = 780
Combining like terms, we have:
7s+45=7807s + 45 = 780
Subtracting 45 from both sides, we get:
7s=780457s = 780 - 45
7s=7357s = 735
Dividing both sides by 7, we get:
s=7357s = \frac{735}{7}
s=105s = 105

3. Final Answer

The cost of a skirt is 105.00105.00.
