Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: you have to divide 50 by 8 then get your answer of 6.25, but you also have to consider two things; the extra $6.00 flat fee, and you cant buy 6.25 shirts, so what we do is multiply 8 times 6 to get 48, but we have to consider the extra $6.00, so you take away 8 which gives you 5 shirts, plus the shipping fee so in all he can buy 5 shirts.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 5 shirts

Explanation:

8x + 6 = 50

subtract 6 from each side:

8x +6 (-6) = 50 (-6)

8x=44

divide by 8:

8x/8=44/8

x=5.5

round to single shirts:

x=5 shirts
