Answer 1

Explanation:

From the given options the correct choices are

1.Each shirt costs $20.

Because x times 20 will give the cost of the 20 shirts

2.The cost of a shirt with tax is $21.30.

Note: tax is 6.5%, so 6.5% of $20 must be added to the cost of the shirt

=(6.5/100)*20

=0.065*20

=1.3

=20+1.3

=$21.3
