A 6-pack of undershirts costs $13.98. This is $3.96 less than the cost of buying 6 individual shirts. If each undershirt costs the same amount, how much does each undershirt cost when purchased individually?
$2.99
Cost = (13.98+3.96)/6 =
To solve this problem, we need to find the cost of buying one individual undershirt. We know that a 6-pack of undershirts costs $13.98, which is $3.96 less than the cost of buying 6 individual shirts.
First, let's calculate the cost of buying 6 individual shirts. We will call this cost "C".
C = cost of 6 individual shirts
Since the 6-pack is $3.96 less, we can write this as:
C = $13.98 + $3.96
Simplifying this expression, we have:
C = $17.94
So, the cost of buying 6 individual shirts is $17.94.
Now, let's find the cost of one individual shirt. We will call this cost "x".
x = cost of one individual shirt
Since we know that the cost of 6 individual shirts is $17.94, we can divide this amount by 6 to find the cost of one individual shirt:
x = $17.94 / 6
Simplifying this expression, we have:
x = $2.99
Therefore, each undershirt costs $2.99 when purchased individually.
