Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Cost of 5 t-shirt at Baxter's = Cost of 2 t-shirts at Bixby's

Let x be the cost of t-shirt at Baxter's and y be the cost of t-shirt at Bixby's

This cab be written in the form of equation as:

`5x = 2y`

Cost of a t-shirt at Bixby's = $11.00

Thus, y = $11.00

We have to find cost of one t-shirt at Baxter's:

`5x = 2* 11\\\\x=\displaystyle(2* 11)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow x = 4.4`

Hence, cost of one t-shirt at Baxter's is $4.40.
