Answer 1

The part that changes in each statement choice is the rate per t-shirt. That means this is what you need to find to correctly answer this question.

To find the rate per t-shirt, divide the total amount paid ($294) by the total amount of t-shirts (21).

294 / 21 = 14

The rate per t-shirt is $14.

Answer:
D. Jenny paid $294 for 21 T-shirts, which is a rate of $14 per T-shirt.
