It's simple, first you have to read the text, let's start.

She arrives with x

Jenny bought 7 T-shirts

x-7*price, so x-7*9.95

The cashier charged her an additional.

[tex]x-7*9.95-13.07[/tex]

Then left for her 7.28

therefore

[tex]x-7*9.95-13.07=7.28[/tex]

[tex]x-69.65-13.07=7.28[/tex]

[tex]x-82.72=7.28[/tex]

[tex]x=7.28+82.72[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{x=\$90.00}}[/tex]

She started with $90.00
