Question

Tanisha and her sister ordered a total of 5 pairs of shoes from a catalog. Each pair cost the same amount. The sisters had to pay $10 for shipping and handling. If their total purchase was $170, how much did each pair of shoes cost?

Answer 1

Answer: 32 dollars

Explanation:

Total was $170. We need to subtract the shipping and handling cost.

$170 - $10 = $160

Take $160 and divide it by 5 because that how many shoes we have. This will distribute the correct amount of money to each pair of shoe.

$160/5 = $32

$32 is the price of one pair of shoes.
