Question

Candice bought 3 shirts.Each shirt cost the same amount and was discounted by $3.66.Candice paid a total of $62.31 before tax.How much did each shirt cost before the discount?

Answer 1

Let the cost of each shirt be x.

Would assume each  shirt was discounted by 3.66

Amount to be paid for each :    x - 3.66

Total =    3*(x - 3.66)

3*(x - 3.66) = 62.31

x - 3.66 = 62.31/3

x - 3.66 =  20.77

x = 20.77 + 3.66

x = 24.43

Each shirt cost $24.43  before the discount.
