Question

Janelle has $75. She buys jeans that are on sale for half price and then uses an in-store coupon for $10 off. After paying $1.80 in sales tax, she receives $37.20 in change. What was the original price of the jeans?

Answer 1

75.00-37.20=37.80-1.80=36.00
so she spent 36.00 with sales tax . then 36.00*2=72.00+10.00=82.00
the jeans original price was 82.00
