PLEASE HELP

A local store has a sign reading "$12 off when you buy 2 identical items." Lisa
spent $30 on 2 identical video games. What was the original cost of each
video game?

Answer:

$21

Explanation:

First, find the price without the discount by adding 12 to 30:

30 + 12

= 42

To find the original cost of each game, divide 42 by 2

42/2

= 21

So, each game was originally $21
