Question

Carol bought 2 pairs of jeans at 24 each and 3 shirts she spent a total of 75 before tax what is the cost of 1 shirt

A.$8
B.$17
C.$9

Answer 1

2 x 24 = 48

48 - 75 = 27

27 ➗ 3 = 9

so the cost of 1 shirt is $9

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:$9

Step-by-step explanation:Here's what we know:

2 * 24 + 3s = 75 (the pants ($24 each) and shirts all together is $75)

What we need to do is isolate s

Simplify:

48 + 3s = 75

subtract 48 from both sides:

48 + 3s - 48 = 75 - 48

3s = 27

Divide by 3:

3s / 3 = 27 / 3

s = 9

Shirts are $9 each.
