Question

The cost for a package of five plain T-shirts is $11.35. If c represents the cost of each individual T-shirt, the equation 5c = 11.35 can be used to find the value of c. Solve for c.

Answer 1

Since you're trying to find the cost of each T-shirt, the first thing to do is to write out your problem.
5c=11.35
Now we get c by itself and solve.
5c/5=11.35/5
c=2.27
Each T-shirt would cost $2.27.
