Question

A store sells paint sets. Each paint set costs the same amount. During the sale, the store reduces the price of each paint set by $1:35. Yuri spends $6:88 on 2 paint sets at the sale price. What was the price of on set before the sale?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 4.79

Explanation:

Given: Yuri spends $6.88 on 2 paint sets at the sale price.

Market price of each paint set =
`\$(6.88)/(2) =\$ 3.44`

During the sale, the store reduces the price of each paint set by $1.35.

Price of paint set before sale = Market price + $1.35

= $ ( 3.44 + 1.35)

= $ 4.79

Hence, the price of on set before the sale = $ 4.79
