Question

you purchase 3 t-shirts and a booklet for 90$. the booklet cost 15. how much is each t-shirt? please help ! thank u

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

3t+15=90

3t=75

t=25

t represents the price for one t-shirt. 90 is the total amount and if the booklet is 15 dollars, altogether they equal 90. With this equation you are trying to isolate the variable (t), so subtract 15 because the opposite of 15 is -15. Then divide that by 3 because 3t is also 3 times t and the opposite of times is division.

Answer 2

each t-shirt was $25

Explanation:

90 minus 15 = 75

75 divided by 3 equals 25
