There are 2 ways of doing this:
First you have to set of the following
3 shirts =12.75
1 shirts = ?
Then you multiply across and divide parallel (1*12.75) then divide 3= 4.25 dollars
Second way is a little bit more steps : you do same step as way 1 then multiply by 2 then subtract it from the 12.75
12.75-(4.25*2)=4.25
