Question

2. Meryl spends a total of $68.82 for 2 pairs of 68.8

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Meryl spends a total $68.82 for 2 pairs of sneakers with the same cost.

If the sales tax is $5.32 and she also uses a coupon for $3.00 off her purchase.

First subtract the sales tax from the spend amount.

$\ 68.82- \ 5.32=\ 63.5$

She use a coupon for $3.00 OFF.

$\ 63.5+\ 3=\ 66.5$

$66.5 was the cost of 2 pairs of sneakers before using the coupon.

Now divide $66.5 by 2 so that we can find the cost of one pair of sneakers.

$\frac{\ 66.5}{2} =\ 33.25$

Hence, the cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.
