While shopping, Greg spent 300$ on a shirt and shoes. If Greg spent 9 more than twice as much on shoes as he did a shirt, how much did Greg spend on a shirt?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
User
Let x be the amount spent on a shirt. Greg spent 2x + 9 dollars on shoes. 300 = x + (2x + 9). 300 = 3x + 9. 291 = 3x. x = 97$. Greg spent 97$ on a shirt.
Thus, the answer is 97.
