Answer:

  $7

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the cost of a shirt when the cost of 21 shirts plus a $40 setup fee is $187.

Cost

The total cost of the order is the sum of the setup fee and the extended cost of the shirts.

  cost = (setup fee) + (number of shirts) × (cost per shirt)

  187 = 40 + 21 × (cost per shirt)

Subtracting 40 gives ...

  147 = 21(cost per shirt)

Dividing by 21, we have ...

  7 = cost per shirt

Each T-shirt costs $7.
