Question

If you buy 3 shirts, you get 10% discount. If you paid $189 for 6 shirts what is the original price of a T-shirt?

Answer 1

Answer : $35

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1:

Let original price for 6 shirts = x

Discount = 10% of x = 0.10x

Step 2:

Price after discount = x – 0.10x = 0.90x = $189

Dividing both sides by 0.90

0.90x0.90=1890.90=
0.90
x
0.90
=

x = $210

Step 3:

Price of a single shirt = 2106
