If there are 21 students in the club and the T-shirt order cost a total of 187 how much does each T-shirt cost show your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer: $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Cost of each T-shirt.

As per given,

Total charge  =( Number of t shirts x Cost per t shirt )+ set up fee  

For 21 T-shirts , total charge would be : 21x+40  

According to the question

⇒21x+40=187

⇒21x = 187-40

⇒21x = 147

⇒x= 7

Hence, each T-shirt costs $7 .
