allison bought some shirts for her clothing store for $15 each. she recived $50 off her entire purchase and spent a total of 400 how many shirts did allison purchase for her store?
450 / 15 = ?
450/15
To solve this problem, we need to determine the number of shirts Allison purchased for her store. Here's how we can break it down step by step:
1. Let's first calculate the amount of money Allison spent after receiving the discount. She received a discount of $50 off her entire purchase, so we subtract that from the total amount she spent:
Total amount spent = $400 - $50 = $350.
2. Now, let's find out how much each shirt costs. It is mentioned that Allison bought shirts for $15 each.
3. Finally, we can divide the total amount spent by the cost of each shirt to find the number of shirts purchased:
Number of shirts purchased = Total amount spent / Cost per shirt
Number of shirts purchased = $350 / $15 = 23.33
Since we can't have a fractional number of shirts, we can conclude that Allison purchased 23 shirts for her clothing store.
