Given:
Tom buys some shirts for $15 each
Tom has a 9$ coupon
Determine how many shirts did Tom buy if he paid $36
Solution:
In order to determine how many shirts were bought by Tom, we add Tom's coupon to the total price that he paid to know the exact price of the shirt
= $9 + $36
=$45
Since each shirt cost $15, we will divide 45 by 15
= 45/15
= 3
Final answer: Tom bought a total of 3 shirts.
