Mr. jackson went shopping. he bought an umbrella for $15. he also bought 3 shirts, each of which cost the same amount. altogether he spent $52.50.

part a: write an equation to represent this situation, using s to represent the cost of one shirt. (assume there is no sales tax where mr. jackson lives.)

equation:

part b: what was the cost of one shirt? show your work.

one shirt cost

Part A :3 x +15 =52.50

Part B: one shirt cost: $12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The cost of 3 shirts (3x) and an umbrella ($15) equals $52.50.

Mathematically speaking:

Part A:

3 x +15 =52.50

Where:

x = price of each shirt

Part B:

Solving for “x”:

3 x +15 =52.50

3 x =52.50-15

3 x =37.5

x = 37.5 /3  

x= 12.5

Each shirt costs $12.5

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

the correct answer to your question is a. 4^4

good luck my friend!

hope this !

maybe if i you could me by giving me brainliest?
