Shelly is going shopping at the mall to buy 3 pairs of shoes. She has a coupon for $2 off per pair of shoes after buying the first pair at full price. Shelly is willing to spend $80 to $95 not including tax. If the shoes she purchases are all the same price, what is the least and most amount she can spend per pair?

Answer: $28-$33

Step-by-step explanation: Call the cost per pair x. She buys the first pair full price, so x, then 2 dollars off, so x-2, and 2 dollars off, so x-2, adding them up you get 3x-4= total money spent. Sinze this ranges from 80-95 solve equations and you get 28 and 33 respectively.
