Answer:
$2.70
Step-by-step explanation:
Elsie is selling the shirt for 45% more than she paid for it. So, you would multiply 6, the initial cost of the shirt times 0.45, which would get you 2.7 or $2.70.
Since we can see that she would be selling the shirt for $8.70 but she loses $6 to represent the shirt's initial cost (8.70-6), then we can see that she makes $2.70 for each shirt sale.
