Question

The class decided to purchase T-shirts from an online company that charges $11.95 and a shipping and handling fee of $6.95. The bill was $174.25. How many T-shirts did the class order?

Answer 1

174.25=11.95x+6.95
167.3=11.95x --subtract 6.95 from both sides
14=x --divide both sides by 11.95

the class ordered 14 tshirts
