Answer 1

To find the cost of one shirt, you can take the total cost for a specific quantity and divide it by that quantity.

Using the data from the table, for example:

1. For 6 shirts at a cost of $18: \[ \text{Cost per shirt} = \frac{18}{6} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

2. For 5 shirts at a cost of $15: \[ \text{Cost per shirt} = \frac{15}{5} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

3. For 4 shirts at a cost of $12: \[ \text{Cost per shirt} = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

4. For 3 shirts at a cost of $9: \[ \text{Cost per shirt} = \frac{9}{3} = 3 \text{ dollars per shirt} \]

In all cases, the cost for one shirt is $3.

Answer: $3
