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

Ok so writing the equation should be 57.95 - 29.37 = 28.58

the cost of the t-shirt, as you can see, is $28.58 2 years ago OpenStudy (anonymous): 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?
