Question

Sergio wants to buy three t-shirts of equal price from Amazon. He receives a one-time charge of $5.99 forshipping. His grand total was $69.74 What is the cost of each t-shirt?

Answer 1

Let x represent the cost of each t-shirt.

The cost of three t-shirt will be;

$3\times x=3x$

The grand total is the sum of the cost of the three t-shirts and the cost of shipping.

since the shipping cost is $5.99

So, the grand total is;

$3x+5.99$

Equating to the given grand total, we have;

$3x+5.99=69.74$

solving for x, we have;

$3x+5.99=69.74$
