What is the cost for one shirt?

1 answer

To find the cost of one shirt, you can divide the total cost by the quantity of shirts.

For example, let's consider the quantity of 6 shirts and its cost:

Cost for 6 shirts = $18
Cost for 1 shirt = Total Cost / Quantity = $18 / 6 = $3

You can also verify this with the other quantities:

  • For 5 shirts: $15 / 5 = $3
  • For 4 shirts: $12 / 4 = $3
  • For 3 shirts: $9 / 3 = $3

In each case, the cost of one shirt is $3.
