Question

Robert is purchasing shirts for his weekend soccer team. The shirts he wants to buy are normally $12 each but are on sale for $9 off. His team has a total of 9 players. How much will he spend to buy the shirts?

Answer 1

Robert will spend $27 on shirts for the team.

Explanation:

Given Information

• The shirts typically retail for $12
• The shirts are now on sale for $9 off ($3 per shirt)
• There are 9 players on the team

Cross-multiply

• If one shirt is now $3, then 9 shirts are $X.
• 
  `(1 shirt)/(9shirts) = (3 dollars)/(X dollars)`
• 3 X 9 = $27.

Therefore, Robert will spend $27 on shirts for the team.
