Question

Three sisters each purchased 2 shirts & a hat. The hat cost $26. If the

total was $205.50, then how much did each shirt cost?
A. $21.00 each shirt
B. $21.25 each shirt
C. $21.50 each shirt
D. $21.75 each shirt

Answer 1

B. $21.25 each shirt

Explanation:

Six shirts (3 sisters buying 2 shirts each) plus 3 $26 hats = 205.50

6s + 3(26) = 205.50

6s + 78 = 205.50

Subtract 78 from each side

6s = 127.50

Divide both sides by 6

s = 21.25
