Let x represent the cost of each t-shirt.

The cost of three t-shirt will be;


3* x=3x

The grand total is the sum of the cost of the three t-shirts and the cost of shipping.

since the shipping cost is $5.99

So, the grand total is;


3x+5.99

Equating to the given grand total, we have;


3x+5.99=69.74

solving for x, we have;


3x+5.99=69.74
