Question

Calvin goes shopping over the weekend and buys a new pair of shoes,a T-Shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat that costs $9. The shoes are twice as much as the shirt, and the sunglasses are half as much as the shirt. The total cost of his purchase is $65. How much does each cost?

Answer 1

I got you :)

Explanation:

okay so if the hat is 9$ there is only 56$ left . it says the shoes are twice as much as the shirt , so i just went in and seen how much ill have left if i split it all. So i said 32$ for the shoes , because half of 32$ for shoes would mean 16$ for the shirt which would be 48. Then it says the sunglasses are half as much as the shirt and half of 16 is 8. When we add 32+16+8+9 we get 65$.
