Answer:
the price of I paint set before the sale was $5.99
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling price of 3 paint sets = $13.47
To get selling price of 1 set
we divide both LHS and RHS by 3
Selling price of 3/3 = 1 paint sets = $13.47/3 = $4.49
Thus, selling price of 1 paint set after sale is $4.49
Given that
the store reduces the price of each paint set by $1.50
Let the price before sale be x
selling price of 1 paint set after sale = price before sale - $1.50
$4.49 = $x - $.150
$x = $4.49 + $1.50 = $5.99
Thus, the price of I paint set before the sale was $5.99
