A store is having its year-end sale. A shirt now costs $7.98, which is half of its original price. Complete and solve the working equation that represents the original price, p , of the shirt.(1 point)
_p=7.98
p=_
dollars
The original price of the shirt can be represented by the equation p = 7.98 * 2, since the current price is half of the original price.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
p = 15.96
Therefore, the original price, p, of the shirt is $15.96 dollars.
