Answer 1

The cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.

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.

`(\$66.5)/(2) =\$33.25`

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