Question

Neela is buying shirts that are on sale at two for the price of one. the original price of each shirt was s dollars. she buys 4 shirts for $24. which equation shows an equality between two different ways of writing how much neela spends on the shirts?

Answer 1

well if its how much they are each then it should be $6 each

Answer 2

`(s)/(2)*4=24`

Explanation:

In this case we have to write an equation that describe the situation, where s is the original price, but in this case is half price because we get two for the price of one s, so the equation is:

`(s)/(2)*4=24`

So this is the equation that describe the amount of money that Neela spend.

Solving the equation we can see that the original price of the shirts were $12 but with the sale are a $6.
