Let x be the number of t-shirts that can be bought.
The cost of each t-shirt after the coupon is applied is $11 - $6 = $5.
We can write the equation: 5x + 6 = 27.
Subtracting 6 from both sides, we have: 5x = 21.
Dividing both sides by 5, we get: x = 21/5 = 4.2.
Since we cannot buy a fraction of a t-shirt, we can conclude that you can buy 4 t-shirts using your coupon and money.
Write an equation and solve to find the solution to the following problem.
You have $27 to spend at the mall and a coupon for $6 off at your favorite store. A t-shirt costs $11. How many t-shirts can you buy using your coupon and money?
