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?

13.98 + 3.96 = 17.94

17.94 / 6 = $________ each

2.99

To find the cost of each undershirt when purchased individually, we need to calculate the cost of buying 6 individual shirts and then subtract $3.96.

Let's assume the cost of each undershirt when purchased individually is x.

So, the cost of buying 6 individual shirts would be 6x.

According to the given information, a 6-pack of undershirts costs $13.98, which is $3.96 less than the cost of buying 6 individual shirts. This can be represented as:

6x - $3.96 = $13.98

To find the value of x, we can rearrange the equation:

6x = $13.98 + $3.96
6x = $17.94

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the variable x:

x = $17.94 / 6
x ≈ $2.99

Therefore, each undershirt costs approximately $2.99 when purchased individually.
