The cost for the number of shirts, including $3.99 shipping, was $77.49. Each shirt cost $12.25. There was no sales tax on this purchase. How many shirts were purchased?

Answer 1

6x + 4 - 1/100 = 77.5

Explanation:

Inc shipping all shirts 77.49

Shirt individual cost = 12.25

We find the division first = 77.49-3.99 = 73.5 = 73 1/2

Then we divide 73.5 / 12.25 = 6

Then we have our equation

6x + 4 - 1/100 = 77.5
