Question

You can buy 5 T-shirts at Baxter's for the same price that you can buy 4 T-shirts at Bixby's. If one T-shirt costs $11.80 at Bixby's, how much does one T-shirt cost at Baxter's?

Answer 1

`color(green)($9.20)`

Explanation:

`4` shirts at Bixby's costing `$11.50` would cost
`color(white)("XXX")4 xx $11.50 = $46`

If `5` shirts at Baxter's cost the same as `4` shirts at Bixby's,
`5` shirts at Baxter's would cost `$46`
and
`1` shirt at Baxter's would cost `($46)/5 = $9.20`
