A store is having its year in sale a shirt now cost $7.98 which is half of it original price complete and solve the working equation that represents the original price which is P the shirt is it blank P equals 798 or P equals how many dollars
Let's solve the equation to find the original price (P) of the shirt.
First, note that the current price ($7.98) is half of the original price. We can represent this mathematically as:
7.98 = 0.5P
To solve for P, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides by 2:
2 * 7.98 = 2 * 0.5P
15.96 = P
Therefore, the original price of the shirt is $15.96.
