Dustin bought 3 shirts and a belt. Each shirt cost the same amount of money, and the belt cost $22.50. If the total amount Dustin paid was $69.75 before tax, what was the price of each shirt before tax?

3x+22.5 = 69.75
-22.5 -22.5

3x = 47.25
/3 /3

x = 15.75

The price of each shirt before tax is $15.75
