Let's denote the original price of the shirt as p. According to the information given, the current price of the shirt is half of its original price, which means:
7.98 = p/2
To solve for the original price p, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * 7.98 = 2 * (p/2)
15.96 = p
Therefore, the original price of the shirt is $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
