What is the cost for one shirt?

Answer 1

To determine the unit price (cost per shirt), you divide the total cost by the quantity of shirts for each entry. Here are the calculations for each:

1. For 6 shirts costing $18: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{18}{6} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

2. For 5 shirts costing $15: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{15}{5} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

3. For 4 shirts costing $12: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

4. For 3 shirts costing $9: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{9}{3} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

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