Answer 2

the original price of each costume was $25, and the sale price was $(25-3.50) = $21.50.

Explanation:

Let the original price of each costume be $x. The sale price of each costume will be $(x-3.50). Ms. Monroe ordered 24 costumes, so the cost of 24 costumes at the sale price will be:

24 × (x-3.50) = $24x - $84

Ms. Monroe paid $516 in all, so we can write:

24x - 84 = 516

Adding 84 to both sides, we get:

24x = 600

Dividing both sides by 24, we get:

x = 25

Therefore, the original price of each costume was $25, and the sale price was $(25-3.50) = $21.50.
