b. 72 - 12 divided by 4 = d is the equation that can be used to find d, the number of dollars each shirt cost.
Explanation:
The cost of 4 shirts is 4d dollars.
The total cost of 4 shirts and a hat is $72, so we can write:
4d + $12 = $72
Subtracting $12 from both sides, we get:
4d = $60
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
d = $15
Therefore, each shirt costs $15.
So, the equation to find d is:
4d = 72 - 12
Dividing by 4, we get:
d = (72 - 12)/4
Simplifying, we get:
d = 60/4 = $15
Alex bought 4 shirts for d dollars each and a hat for $12. The cost of these items was $72.
Which equation can be used to find d, the number of dollars each shirt cost?
a. 72 divided by 4 divided by 12 = d.
b. 72 - 12 divided by 4 = d
c. 72 + 12 divided by 4 = d
