Answer 1

least - $7

most - $12

Step-by-step explanation:

if the price of a shirt is $12, she must have spent at least $24 on the shirts in total.

the least amount melissa could have spent on a skirt is:

($45 - $24) ÷ 3 = $7

and the most she could have spent is:

($60 - $24) ÷ 3 = $12

i hope this helps! :D

Answer 2

Least is 7

Most is 12

So 2 shirts for 12.

So 24

Take 24 off of both

Left with 21 to 36

21÷3 is 7

36÷3 is 12

Hope this helps
