Let's denote the cost of each shirt before the discount as "x".
If you buy 4 shirts, and $10 is taken off the total cost, then the equation can be set up as:
4x - $10 = $54
Simplifying the equation:
4x = $54 + $10
4x = $64
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = $16
Therefore, each shirt was originally priced at $16 before the discount.
To find the original price of each shirt before the discount, we can follow these steps:
1. Let's assume the original price of each shirt is "x".
2. Since there are no price tags on the shirts, and the discount is applied when you buy 4 shirts, we can set up the equation:
Original Total Price - Discount = Total Price
4x - $10 = $54
3. Now we can solve this equation for "x":
4x = $54 + $10
4x = $64
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to find the value of "x":
x = $64 / 4
x = $16
Therefore, each shirt was originally priced at $16 before the discount.
To find out the original price of each shirt before the discount, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Let's assume the original price of each shirt is 'x'.
Step 2: The total cost of 4 shirts without the discount can then be calculated as 4x.
Step 3: According to the given information, there is a $10 discount if you buy 4 shirts. So, the total cost after the discount will be 4x - $10.
Step 4: It is given that the total cost after the discount is $54. So, we can set up the following equation:
4x - $10 = $54.
Step 5: Let's solve this equation for 'x':
4x - $10 = $54
4x = $54 + $10
4x = $64
x = $64 / 4
x = $16.
Therefore, the original price of each shirt before the discount was $16.
