Question

Freddy spent $56.07 on 4 pairs of jeans at the store. His cost included $4.15 sales tax.

Answer 1

Answer: Each pair of jeans cost $12.98 before sale taxes-

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to subtract the sales tax amount to the price paid by Freddy.

56.07-4.15 = 51.92

Finally, we have to divide the previous result by the number of pairs of jeans bought.

51.92/4 = 12.98

Each pair of jeans cost $12.98 before sale taxes-

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer 2

Without taxes the cost was $56.07 - $4.15 = $51.92.
That was for 4 pairs. Then, 1 pair is $51.92/4 = $12.98
