Answer:shirt = $22.5

skirt= $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let shirt be x and skirt be y

4x + 9y = 168.75--------1

3x + 12y = 172.5---------2

Using elimination method

Multiply eqn 1 by 3 and eqn 2 by 4

12x + 27y= 506.25

12x + 48y = 690

Subtracting

-21y = -183.75

y = $8.75

Put in eqn 1

4x + 9×8.75 = 168.75

4x = 168.75 - 78.75

4x = 90

x = $22.5
