Together they spent a total of $71.
If a cap cost $5, what is the price of a t-shirt?
$8
O $12
$49
$63

Respuesta :

If altogether they spent a total of $71,  and a cap cost $5, then the price of a t-shirt is $8. Option A is correct

From the question, we are told that all caps cost $5 each

Let the cost of each shirt be x:

If Andy bought a t-shirt and a cap for each of his six friends, there will be 6 shirts and 6 caps

If Bob returned two caps and two t-shirts, there will be 4 caps and 4 shirts left

If Carl bought three t-shirts and returned a cap, the number of caps remaining will be 3 caps and the number of shirts remaining will be 7 shirts

If they spent a total of $71, this means;

3(5) + 7x = 71

15 + 7x = 71

7x = 71 - 15

7x = 56

x = 56/7

x = 8

This shows that the price of a t-shirt is $8
