Let's define the cost of each shirt as $x$ (in dollars).
Since Liam buys 5 shirts and they each cost the same amount, the total cost of the shirts is $5x.
Now, we can write the equation:
$29.99 + 5x = 94.94$
Subtracting $29.99$ from both sides gives:
$5x = 94.94 - 29.99 = 64.95$
Dividing both sides by 5:
$x = \frac{64.95}{5} = 12.99$
Therefore, the cost of each shirt that Liam buys is $\$12.99.
Part B
Liam buys a pair of jeans that cost $\$29.99$ and $5$ shirts that each cost the same amount of money. He spends a total of $\$94.94$ .
Write an equation or inequality to represent the cost of each shirt that Liam buys. Define all variables used.
