Hello Dyaneese

 

Since each shirt cost the same amount,

let x = full price of each shirt

x-3.66 = discounted price of each shirt

 

Since John bought 3 shirts, so his cost for all 3 can be represented by the following equation:

3(x-3.66) = 62.31

 

We can solve this equation for x, the full price of a single shirt before the discount or taxes.

 

First distribute the 3

3x-10.98 = 62.31

 

Add 10.98 to both sides

3x = 73.29

 

Divide by 3

x = 24.43

 

Each shirt cost $24.43 before discount
