Let x be the original price of the shirt.
According to the problem, the shirt now costs $7.98, which is half of its original price. Therefore, we can write the equation:
7.98 = (1/2) * x
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * 7.98 = x
15.96 = x
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)
