Question

A store sells paint sets. Each paint set costs the same amount. During a sale, the store reduces the price of each paint set by $1.30. Jasmine spends
$16.45 on 5 paint sets at the sale price.
What was the price of 1 paint set before the sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.59

Step-by-step explanation:

At the sale price:

5 paints set cost Jasmine $16.45

Each paint set = Total cost of 5 paints set / 5

= $16.45 / 5

= $3.29

What was the price of 1 paint set before the sale?

Because the store reduces the price of each paint set by $1.30 before selling, we will add $1.30 to the price of each paint set during sales

Price of each paint set during sales = $3.29

price of 1 paint set before the sale = $3.29 + $1.30

= $4. 59
