Work backwards to solve

Conner ordered 3 sweatshirts from a mail-order catalog. Each sweatshirt cost the same price. He paid 7% sales tax. He also paid $3.50 shipping and handling charge. The total cost of the order was $51.65. What was the price of each sweatshirt?

Laureneon

Answer: $14.93

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets remove the shipping price: 51.65 - 3.50 = 48.15

Next, lets find the sales tax of the shirts: 48.15 x 0.07 = 3.37

Then, subtract that from the shirt price: 48.15 - 3.37 = 44.78

Finally, divide 44.78 by 3: 44.78 / 3 = 14.93!
