Answer

The price of the shirt this year = $49.50

Step-by-step explanation

The shirt was $45.00 last year.

But it costs 10% higher this year.

The extra charge = 10% of $45.00 = 0.1 × $45 = $4.50

The price of the shirt this year

= (Price of the shirt last year) + (The 10% extra charge this year)

= $45 + $4.50

= $49.50

Hope this Helps!!!
