There are 3 pairs of earrings that you bought in addition to the jeans. Forming an equation with the given values helps to find the required value.

<h3>How to write an equation for the given information?</h3>

It is given that,

A pair of jeans cost = $44

A pair of earrings cost = $12

you spent a total of $80 before taxes.

So, the equation for the given data is,

$80 = $44 + $12x

Where x is the number of pairs of earrings.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Simplifying the obtained equation:

$80 = $44 + $12x

⇒ 12x = 80 - 44

⇒ 12x = 36

⇒ x = 36/12

∴ x = 3

Thus, you can buy three pairs of earrings at the mall in addition to the jeans.

Add the two angles and then subtract from 180* to find the missing angle

So,

145* + 15* = 160*

180* - 160* = 20*
