Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let me help out. The value of each shirt will be gotten by subtracting $47.15 from the total amount paid for the shirt and jacket. Let's say the total amount paid is $90.02

Since the jacket cost $47.15, the cost of the shirts will be:

= $90.02 - $47.15

= $42.87

We would now divide the coat if the three shirts by 3. This will be:

= $42.87 ÷ 3

= $14.29
