WILL GIVE MEDAL FOR CORRECT ANSWER!!!!

Answer 1

1 shirt + coupon = 1 * $11 - $6 = $11 - $6 = $5
2 shirts + coupon = 2 * $11 - $6 = $22 - $6 = $16
3shirts + coupon = 3* $11 - $6 = $33 - $6 = $27 This is it.

Answer 2

Well, 27-6=21 which is not equal to 22, therefore you can only buy one t-shirt.
@MathStudent
You only have one coupon which means it is incorrect.

Answer 3

so the answer is 3

Answer 4

Nope, it's actually one since you have 1 coupon, not 3.

Answer 5

You could actually buy 3 shirts even though you have 1 coupon.
$11.00-$6.00=$5.00
$11.00+$5.00=$16.00
$16.00+$11.00=$27.00

Answer 6

@drewsorr1
Where did you get $27 from for your subtraction of $27 - $6 = $21?

Answer 7

$27 = Money gathered to spend at the Mall.

Answer 8

Good.
Why did you subtract $6 from it to get 27 - 6 = 21?
What does a coupon for $6 off mean?
