Try subtracting 29.37 from 57.95, see what you get :)

I got that part, but it asks how much is the t-shirt?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well, the answer you got from subtracting is how much the t-shirt cost
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you see, she only spent 57.95
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then subtracting, you'll get the answer for the t-shirt :)

Ok so writing the equation should be 57.95 - 29.37 = 28.58
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So in solving the equation do I write it the same?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the cost of the t-shirt, as you can see, is $28.58

I have a, b, c. Next is write your answer in the form of a sentence. I checked my book and there is no example. So do I say the cost of the t-shirt is $28.58? in c?
