Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) $2.50
B) $5.00
C) $5.50
D) $7.50
E) $15.00
Let X be pair of shoes and Y be pair of boots.   22x+16y = 650 ... eq1   8x +32y = 760....eq 2.   Now multiply eq 1 by 2 and sub eq 2.   44x = 1300   8x = 760.   36x = 540 =&gt; x = 15.   Sub x in eq 2.... we get 120 + 32y = 760... then we get 32y = 640 then y = 20   Difference between X and Y is 5.   Answer: option $5.00 is correct answer.
