Answer 1

$55

Explanation:

Here is the complete question: Jane paid a total of $79 for a paid of shoes and 2 hats. The price of each hats was $12. Use rounding to estimate how much Jane paid for a pair of shoes.

Given: Total payment made by Jane is $79.

Price of one hat is $12

First let calculate the price of two hats.

Total price=
`\$ 12* 2\ hats= \$ 24`

∴ Total price paid for 2 hats is $24.

As given Jane bought a pair of shoes also.

Now, solving to find price paid for a pair of shoes.

Price for a pair of shoes=
`Total\ price\ paid - Price\ of\ hats`

∴ Price for a pair of shoes=
`\$ 79-\$ 24= \$55`

Jane paid $55 for a pair of shoes.
