Pat bought 6 shirts that were all the same price. He used a traveler's check for $25, and then paid the difference of $86. What was the
price of each shirt?

Each shirt costs $18.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions such as these usually involve quite simple calculations, but they are important in being able to convert a scenario described in words into math calculations.

First, read the information carefully and then summarize what you are given in short sentences. Pat bought  6  shirts.  He paid using a check and cash.

The total amount paid was  $ 25  +  $ 86  =  $ 111

The shirts all cost the same price.

The cost of each shirt was:  111  ÷  6  =  $ 18.50

Each shirt was 18.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the 6 shirts was 25+86 = 111

Divide the total by 6 to find the cost of each shirt

111/6 =18.5

Each shirt was 18.50

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
