Question

Bobby bought 3 T-shirts at the mall

and a pair of pants for $16 at the
clothing store. All together he spent $28
for the clothes. How much was each
shirt?

Answer 1

Each shirt was 4 dollars.

Explanation:

28 - 16 = 12. 12 divided by 3 = 4.

Answer 2

Answer: $4

Step-by-step explanation: we know he spent 28 dollars in total and 16 of those was on a pair of pants so we can subtract 16 from 28 to get 12

we also know he bought 3 shirts in total and because 12/3=4 each shirt must have cost 4 dollars.

We can check the answer by combining the price of the shirts (12)

with the price of the pants (16) because 12+16=28 we know the cost of each shirt has to be $4.
