Let's denote the full price of each rashguard as f. Since during the sale each item gets marked down by $5, the sale price of each rashguard becomes f - $5.
Since Miguel purchases 3 rashguards for a total of $60, we can set up the equation:
3(f - $5) = $60
Therefore, the equation we can use to find the full price f of each rashguard is 3(f - $5) = $60.
Blue Tide Swim Shop is having its annual summer sale, when every item in the store gets marked down. During the sale, rashguards sell for $5 less than full price. Miguel purchases 3 rashguards and pays a total of $60.
Which equation can you use to find how much money, f, each rashguard costs at full price?
