Answer: The price of each shirt she bought was $22.95.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this, first, we have to add to the discounted price (52.22) the amount of the credit (39.58), to obtain the original total cost (without discount).

So:

52.22+39.58 = $91.8

Since she bought 4 shirts, we have to divide the total cost by 4:

91.8 /4 = $22.95

The price of each shirt she bought was $22.95.
