A store is having its year-end sale. A now costs $7.98, which is half of its original price. Complete and solve the shirt working equation that represents the original price, p , of the shirt. _p=7.98 p=_dollars

To find the original price \( p \) of the shirt, you can set up the equation based on the information given:

Since $7.98 is half of the original price, you can express this as:

\[ \frac{p}{2} = 7.98 \]

To solve for \( p \), you can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

\[ p = 7.98 \times 2 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ p = 15.96 \]

So, the original price \( p \) of the shirt is $15.96.

Sure! Here’s how you could fill in the blanks based on the given information:

1. The equation representing the original price \( p \) of the shirt is:

   \[ \frac{p}{2} = 7.98 \]

2. To find \( p \), you would multiply both sides by 2:

   \[ p = 7.98 \times 2 \]

So, filling in the blanks:

• p = original price of the shirt
• p = 7.98 \times 2 = 15.96 dollars

Your complete filled statement would look like this:

p = 7.98 × 2 → p = 15.96 dollars

I apologize for the oversight! Let's fill in all the necessary blanks in a complete format, including the missing one.

1. The equation representing the relationship is:

   \[ __p = 7.98 \]

This can be filled with:

\[ \frac{p}{2} = 7.98 \]

2. Then, to solve for \( p \):

   \[ __p = 7.98 \times 2 \]

This can be filled with:

\[ p = 7.98 \times 2 \]

3. Finally, calculating gives:

   \[ __p = 15.96 \text{ dollars} \]

In summary, here’s the complete filled-in version:

1. \(\frac{p}{2} = 7.98\)
2. \(p = 7.98 \times 2\)
3. \(p = 15.96 \text{ dollars}\)
