A Shirt And A Tie Together Cost $50. The Shirt Costs $30 More Than The Tie. What Is The Cost Of The Shirt?

A Shirt And A Tie Together Cost $50. The Shirt Costs $30 More Than The Tie. What Is The Cost Of The Shirt?
Let’s denote the cost of the tie as T dollars.

According to the problem:
– The cost of the shirt is $30 more than the cost of the tie, so the cost of the shirt is  T + 30 dollars.
– The combined cost of the shirt and the tie is $50.

We can set up the equation as follows:
T + T + 30 = 50

Simplify and solve for T :
2T + 30 = 50
2T = 50 – 30
2T = 20
T = 10

So, the cost of the tie is $10.

The cost of the shirt is:
T + 30 = 10 + 30 = 40

Therefore, the cost of the shirt is $40.
