Answer:

I have bought 4 shirts and 6 pants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let I have bought x number of shirts and y number of pants.

So, the two equation that we can write from the given conditions are

x + y = 10 ............. (1) and

24x + 32y = 288 ...... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get

24x + 32(10 - x) = 288

⇒ 8x = 320 - 288 = 32

⇒ x = 4

And y = (10 - 4) = 6

Therefore, I have bought 4 shirts and 6 pants. (Answer)
