Question

Maria gave the sales clerk $80 to pay for 3 pairs of jeans. The sales clerk gave her $7.46 in chance. Each pair of jeans has the same cost. What is the cost of each pair of jeans in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

Answer is $24.18 per pair of jeans.

Explanation:
Since Maria gave the sales clerk $80, you have to subtract $7.46 of change since the sum is the total amount of money all pairs of jeans cost. So, $72.54 divided by 3 would be $24.18
