Question

Katie bought 4 sweaters that each cost the same amount and 1 skirt that cost 20$. The items she bought cost a total of 160$ before tax was added. What was the cost of each sweater?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of each sweater was $35

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, first find out the cost of all the sweaters added together. We can get this by subtracting the cost of the skit from the total.

$160 - $20 = $140

Now to find the individual cost, divide the cost of all the sweaters by the number of sweaters.

$140/4 = $35
