Ky wants to buy three shirts, which were originally priced 49.96 each. The store will discount the price of the third shirt by 50% and then apply a 7.1% tax to the total cost of all three shirts. Including the tax, what will be the mean cost of each shirt?

49.96 + 49.96 + (49.96x.5)

99.92+24.94=124.86 divide 7.1 and 124.86 which gives you 17.58591549295775 but I’m guessing u round so 17.59 and add that to 124.86which equals 142.45. The total cost is 142.45. But each shirt is 49.96 and the third is 24.94. Don’t forget the dollar sign and have a good day! :)
