Sue bought a pair of jeans and a shirt for $55.75. If the jeans cost $25.25, how much did she pay for the shirt?

$30.50

The total she paid is for the jeans and the shirt. If you take away the amount the jeans cost from the total, you will get what the shirt cost. This is a subtraction problem.

The total cost= $55.75 Cost of a pair of jeans=$25.25 Thus, cost of shirt=55.75-25.25=$30.50
