Question

A store is having its year-end sale. A shirt now costs $7 98, which is half of its original price. Complete and solve the working equation that represents the original price, p. of

the shirt (1 point)

Answer 1

The equation can be represented as:

p/2 = $7.98

To find the original price, p, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

p = 2 * $7.98
p = $15.96

Therefore, the original price of the shirt was $15.96.
