Question

Freddy spent $56.07 on 4 pairs of jeans at the store. His cost included $4.15 sales tax. How much was each pair of pants?

Answer 1

Your answer would be 12.98

Answer 2

Subtract the sales tax from $56.07 and get $51.92 but 60 cents equals 1 dollar so subtract 60¢ from 92¢ and get $52.32. Divide 4 by $52.32 and get $13.08.
