Let x be the number of t-shirts that can be bought.
The cost of each t-shirt after the coupon is applied is $11 - $6 = $5.
We can write the equation: 5x + 6 = 27.
Subtracting 6 from both sides, we have: 5x = 21.
Dividing both sides by 5, we get: x = 21/5 = 4.2.
Since we cannot buy a fraction of a t-shirt, we can conclude that you can buy 4 t-shirts using your coupon and money.
Let's set up the equation to find the number of shirts you can buy.
Let x represent the number of shirts you can buy.
The cost of each shirt is $11.
You have a coupon that saves you $6.
The equation is:
11x - 6 = 27
To solve the equation, we'll simplify and isolate the variable x.
11x = 27 + 6
11x = 33
Next, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 11 to solve for x.
x = 33/11
x = 3
Therefore, you can buy 3 t-shirts using your coupon and money.
To solve this problem, we need to subtract the coupon amount from your total amount of money and then divide the result by the cost of each t-shirt.
Let's set up an equation:
Number of t-shirts = (Total amount of money - Coupon amount) / Cost per t-shirt
Let's plug in the given values:
Number of t-shirts = ($27 - $6) / $11
Now, let's simplify the equation:
Number of t-shirts = $21 / $11
Dividing $21 by $11, we get:
Number of t-shirts ≈ 1.91
Since you cannot buy a fraction of a t-shirt, you can only buy whole t-shirts. Therefore, you can buy a maximum of 1 t-shirt using your coupon and money.
