Question

Mariah bought 5 shirts that each cost the same amount and a pair of jeans that cost $30. She spent a total of $150 at the store. Write an equation to determine the cost of each shirt.

Answer 1

150-30=5x

Explanation:

If the total is $150 and a pair of jeans is $30, then you'd subtract them. Since you have to find out how much each shirt is, you'd put 5x on the other side of the equal sign. Then solve for X.

Hope this helps!
