Answer:

Each shirt costs $18.50

Explanation:

Questions such as these usually involve quite simple calculations, but they are important in being able to convert a scenario described in words into math calculations.

First, read the information carefully and then summarize what you are given in short sentences. Pat bought 6 shirts. He paid using a check and cash.

The total amount paid was $ 25 + $ 86 = $ 111

The shirts all cost the same price.

The cost of each shirt was: 111 ÷ 6 = $ 18.50
