    Answer: The answer is 7shirts

    Step-by-step explanation:

    100¢ = $1

    $5 * 100 = 500¢

    First shirt = 50¢

    500¢-50¢ = 450¢

    Pay increase to 75¢ after the first shirt.

    Number of shirts ironed for 450¢ = 450/75 = 6shirts

    Therefore, 6shirts for 450¢ and 1 shirt for 50¢ total 7 shirts for 500¢ = $5
