A store is having its year-end sale. A shirt now costs $7.98, which is half of its original price. Complete and solve the working equation that represents the original price, p, of the shirt.(1 point)
p=7.98
p=
dollars
We know that the original price of the shirt is half of its current price, which is $7.98.
So, we can represent the original price, p, as:
p = 7.98/2
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
p = 3.99
Therefore, the original price of the shirt is $3.99.
