Question

Ironman went to the store and bought 2 shirts that were the same amount and a pair of shoes. The shoes cost 12.50. If his total bill was less than 100, how much was the cost of each shirt.

Answer 1

Answer:the cost of each shirt was less than $43.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a shirt. Since the 2 shirts that iron man bought were of the same amount, then, the total cost of the 2 shirts will be $2x

He also bought a pair of shoes. The shoes cost 12.50. If his total bill was less than 100, it means that

2x + 12.5 < 100

2x < 100 - 12.5

2x < 87.5

x < 87.5/2

x < $43.75
