Setler [38]

Answer: $7.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the printing company charges a certain amount for each shirt plus a setup fee of $40.

Let x be the cost of each t-shirt.

There are 21 students in the drama club. So, total cost of 21 t-shirts is

$\text{Total cos}=40+21x$

It is given that the t-shirt order costs a total of $187.

$40+21x=187$

$21x=187-40$

$21x=147$

Divide both sides by 21.

$x=\dfrac{147}{21}$

$x=7$

Therefore, the cost of each t-shirt is $7.
