Question

Candice bought 3 shirts. Each shirt cost the same amount and was discounted by $3.66.

Candice paid a total of $62.31 before tax. How much did each shirt cost before the discount?
А $19.55
B
$20.77
С
$24.43
D
$28.09

Answer 1

Let the cost of each shirt be s.

Would assume each shirt was discounted by 3.66

Amount to be paid for each: s - 3.66

Total = 3*(s - 3.66)

3*(s - 3.66) = 62.31

s - 3.66 = 62.31/3

s - 3.66 = 20.77

s = 20.77 + 3.66

s = 24.43

Each shirt cost $24.43 before the discount.
