Question

Kelly orders T-shirts and sweaters from a clothing company. she buys them at the prices and quantities that are shown in the table. How much more does one sweater cost than one T-shirt?
Kelly's Clothing Shop Orders
Items Quantity Price
T-shirts 100. $659.00
Sweater 50. $600.00

Answer 1

The answer is 6.59, so a sweater cost $6.59 more than a t shirt

Answer 2

Well, to solve this you would divide 659 by 100 since that is the cost of 100 T-shirts, but you only need one. That means that one T-shirt costs $6.59. Then you would divide 600 by 50, which is 13.18, for the same reason. Then you subtract 13.18 from 6.59. (13.18-6.59) which would be 6.59. So the answer is 6.59
