Final answer:

Without information on the cost of ties, we cannot accurately calculate the cost of each shirt that Ted bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each shirt, we need to set up and solve a basic algebra problem. We know that Ted bought four shirts and two ties for a total of $95, but we do not have the information on the cost of ties. This absence of information about the price of the ties in the given details makes us unable to solve the question with the data provided. Usually, we would let 'x' represent the cost of one shirt and create an equation based on the information about the number of shirts and ties and their total cost, then solve for 'x'. However, since the cost or amount of ties is not provided, we cannot complete the calculation to find the cost of each shirt.
