The pants cost $36.06 ⇒ answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
George bought a shirt and a pair of pants at a clothing store
1. The pants cost $5.23 more than the shirt
2. He used a $10 off coupon to purchase the shirt
3. The equation s - $10 = $20.83 is used to determine the cost of the
shirt before the coupon
We need to find the cost of the pants
∵ s represents the cost of the shirt before the coupon
∵ s - 10 = 20.83
- Add 10 to both sides
∴ s = $30.83
The cost of the shirt before the coupon is $30.83
∵ The cost of the pants is $5.23 more than the cost of the shirt
∴ The cost of the pants = the cost of the shirt + $5.23
∵ The cost of the shirt is $30.83
∴ The cost of the pants = 30.83 + 5.23
∴ The cost of the pants = $36.06
The pants cost $36.06
