Question

A store sells shirts at a price of 2 for $5.00. At this price, how much do 7 shirts cost?

Answer 1

5/2 equals 2.50 so 2.50x7 equals 17.50

Answer 2

$17.50

Explanation:

2 goes into 7 3 times, and 5 times 3 is $15.00, so theres one shirt left. If 2 shirts cost $5, one will cost $2.50. So, 15+2.50= $17.50
