Answer 1

Answer : $8.29

A shop sells jump ropes

Ma spends $12.78 on 2 jump ropes after removing $1.90 on each jump rope

Since, she spents $12. 78 on two jump ropes

$1.90 is removed from each

For the two jump rope, we have

2 x 1.90 = $3.80

This means $3.80 is removed from the two jump ropes

The total amount spents on the two jump rope before the removal is

$12.780 + $3.80

The total amount = $16.58

The total amount spents on the two jump ropes before the sales is $16.58

Since each jump rope cost the same price

Then

16.58/2 = $8.29

Therefore, the price of each jump rope is $8.29
