C'mon now, that's basic elementary school subtraction. You can do it!!
. Leona spent $57.95 at the mall. She bought a T-shirt and a book. The book cost $29.37. How much did the T-shirt cost? a. Write an equation that models the problem. b. Solve the equation. c. Write your answer in the form of a sentence
Let T-shirt cost = T
book cost = B
1. make equation
T + B = $57.95
T + 29.37 = 57.95
2. Solving equation
T + 29.37 = 57.95
T = 57.95 - 29.37
T = 28.58
3. cost of a T -shirt is $ 28.58
