QUESTION

4. Mickey and Minnie went to a Sabres game.
They each purchased two shirts and a $17
autographed hockey puck. If Mickey and
Minnie spent a total of $214, how much was
each shirt?

Answer 1

I agree with Karen!!!!!

Answer 2

45

Step-by step

What do we already know about the equation?

We know that they EACH bought a hockey puck($17) and 2 shirts

Half of 214 is 107. So they had to have spent 107 separately

So we make the equation and let s represent shirts

2s + 17 = 107

- 17 -17

2s= 90. DIVIDE by 2

s = 45
