Question

tina bought three pairs of jeans and three sweaters that were on sale she paid a total of 105.69 if the jeans were 26.93 how much was each sweater?

Answer 1

Each sweater costs $8.30

Explanation:

j = jeans

s = sweater

3j + 3s = 105.69

3(26.93) + 3s = 105.69

80.79 + 3s = 105.69

-80.79 -80.79

3s = 24.9

/3 /3

s = 8.3 ($8.30)

Check:

3j + 3s = 105.69

3(26.93) + 3(8.3) = 105.69

80.79 + 24.9 = 105.69

105.69 = 105.69

Hope this helps!
