Let the full price of one rashguard be \( x \). During the sale, each rashguard is sold for \( x - 5 \).
Miguel buys 3 rashguards, so the total cost can be expressed as:
\[
3(x - 5) = 60
\]
Expanding this equation:
\[
3x - 15 = 60
\]
Next, we solve for \( x \) by first adding 15 to both sides:
\[
3x = 75
\]
Now, dividing both sides by 3:
\[
x = 25
\]
Thus, the full price of one rashguard is \( \$25 \). To find the sale price, we subtract 5:
\[
x - 5 = 25 - 5 = 20
\]
So, the sale price of each rashguard is \( \$20 \).
To summarize, the full price of a rashguard is \( \$25 \) and during the sale, the price is \( \$20 \).
