Calvin goes shopping over the weekend and buys a new pair of shoes, a t-shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a hat that costs $9. the shoes are twice as much as the shirt, and the sunglasses are half as much as the shirt. the total cost of his purchase is $65. how much does each cost?

I got you :)

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so if the hat is 9$ there is only 56$ left . it says the shoes are twice as much as the shirt , so i just went in and seen how much ill have left if i split it all. So i said 32$ for the shoes , because half of 32$ for shoes would mean 16$ for the shirt which would be 48. Then it says the sunglasses are half as much as the shirt and half of 16 is 8. When we add 32+16+8+9 we get 65$.
