(01.05 MC)Thomas bought 4 shirts from a store. The price of each shirt was the same. After he bought the shirts, his account balance showed a change of −$89.08. What would have been the change to Thomas's account balance had he only bought 1 shirt from the store? $22.27 −$22.27 $22.45 −$22.45

@Will.H

OpenStudy (shaima):

okay so would assume that he didn't have a previous balance at the store, so 89.08 is the price of the 4 shirts he just bought. so now u should divide

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

22.27?

OpenStudy (shaima):

That is the price of each shirt.

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

ok ty

OpenStudy (shaima):

So, what would his balance be if he bought 1 shirt

OpenStudy (shaima):

But didn't pay for it yet

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

ummmm idk

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

-89.08?

OpenStudy (shaima):

no

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

:P

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Then i dont know

OpenStudy (shaima):

ur close tho

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

-66.81???

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

22.27!?!?!?!

OpenStudy (shaima):

okay look its 22.7 but if he didnt pay for it it would be -22.7

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

So the answer is A?

OpenStudy (shaima):

22.27*

OpenStudy (shaima):

the answer is -22.27

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Oh

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

ok ty

OpenStudy (shaima):

np

OpenStudy (will.h):

Just out of curiousity if he bought 4 shirts how can each shirt cost -22.27 dollars!?

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Ye

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

How????

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

@shaima

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Explain...

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

@Will.H what do you think is correct?

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

A or B?

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Oh I see bc if he bought 4 it would be -89.08

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

and if he bought one

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

his balance would charge -22.27

OpenStudy (will.h):

The whole question don't make any sense But one thing i know for sure the price of the shirts is 4x and x can never be negative

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Ye it's B

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

Ty anyways

OpenStudy (will.h):

They said his account showed a change of 89.08 dollars that means he paid that amoount at the shop and if he bought 4 shirts then 89.09/4 = 22.27!

OpenStudy (will.h):

was it B?
