Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

We are given that five t- shirt sold for $60.Tom used the five steps problem solving plan.

We have to find the cost of each shirt

Cost of five t- shirt=$60

In order to find the cost of each shirt we will divide total cost with number of t- shirt.

Number of t -shirt=5

Cost of each t-shirt=
`(Total\; cost)/(Number\;of\;t-shirt)`

Cost of each t-shirt=
`(60)/(5)=`$12

Hence, cost of each t- shirt=$12

Answer 2

divide total cost by number of items

60/5 = 12

each shirt cost $12
