Answer:
$175 = Cost of single dress
Step-by-step explanation:
It is provided that cost of dress is twice that of a skirt.
Let say, cost of skirt = x
Total things bought 3 dresses and 2 skirts.
Cost of single dress = 2x
Cost of all items = 3 [tex]\times[/tex] 2x + 2 [tex]\times[/tex] x = $1,000 - $300 = $700
6x + 2x = $700
x = 700/8 = $87.50
Cost of single dress = 2x = $87.50 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = $175
