What is the original price of a shirt that now costs $7.98, which is half of its original price?

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the original price (p) of the shirt, we can set up the equation:

2 * p = 7.98

Now, let's solve the equation for p:

Dividing both sides by 2:

p = 7.98 / 2

The original price (p) of the shirt is $3.99.

To simplify the question, we can rephrase it as:

"What is the original price of the shirt, if it is currently on sale for $7.98, which is half of its original price?"

Now let's solve the equation to find the original price of the shirt:

We know that the current price of the shirt, represented by p, is $7.98. We also know that this price is half of the original price. So, we can set up the equation as:

$7.98 = (1/2) * p

To solve for p, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

2 * $7.98 = 1 * p

$15.96 = p

Therefore, the original price of the shirt is $15.96.
