Question

Andrea spent a total of $43.87 on new clothes at a clothing store. She bought 1 pair of sandals for $8, 2 t-shirts for $9.49 each and 1 pair of jeans. The tax on the purchase was $2.87. How much did Andrea pay for the pair of jeans?

Answer 1

43.87 - 8 = 35.87  (sandals)
9.49 + 9.49 = 18.98 ( for two t-shirts)
35.87 - 18.98 = 16.89 (t-shirts)
16.89 - 2.87 = 14.02 (taxes) 
Andrea payed $14.02 for a pair of jeans
Hopes this helps you!
