Suppose you purchase 3 identical T-shirts and a hat. The hat costs $19.75 and you spend $56.50 in all. How much does each T-shirt cost?
My answer
56.50- 19.75= 36.75
36.75/3=12.25 each
Correct.
To find out how much each T-shirt costs, we need to start by subtracting the cost of the hat from the total amount spent.
$56.50 - $19.75 = $36.75
Then, we divide the remaining amount by the number of T-shirts (which is 3) to get the cost per T-shirt.
$36.75 / 3 = $12.25
Therefore, each T-shirt costs $12.25.
To find the cost of each T-shirt, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by calculating the total amount spent on the hat and T-shirts. In this case, you spent $56.50 in total.
2. Next, subtract the cost of the hat from the total amount spent. In this case, the hat costs $19.75, so subtract $19.75 from $56.50.
3. The result will give you the total amount spent on the T-shirts, which is $36.75 in this case.
4. Since you purchased 3 identical T-shirts, divide the total amount spent on the T-shirts by the number of T-shirts (3 in this case).
5. The final result will give you the cost of each T-shirt, which is $12.25 in this case.
So, each T-shirt costs $12.25.
