Question

Caitlan went to the store to buy clothes. she had a store credit from a previous return in the amount of $39.58. If she bought 4 of the same style shirt in different colors and spent a total of $52.22 after the store credit was taken off her total, what was the price of each shirt she bought? Write and solve an equation with integer coefficients.

Answer 1

You would add the price she paid and her amount of credit which gives you $91.80. You then divide that by 4 giving you $22.95. Each shirt was $22.95 :)

Answer 2

Well you would take the store credit and subtract that from the total so you would do 52.22-39.58 and you would have to spend $12.64
