Let p be the original price of the shirt. Since the shirt now costs $7.98, we can set up the equation:
p/2 = 7.98
To find the value of p, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
2*(p/2) = 2*7.98
p = 15.96
Therefore, the original price of the shirt was $15.96.
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) p=7.98 p= dollars
