ignore any taxes.

Answer:

$24, $72

$50

Explanation:

From the table :

At local store :

2 pair of jeans cost $48

Cost of a pair :

Cost of 2 pairs / number of pairs

$48 / 2 = $24

Cost of 3 pairs :

Cost per pair * number of pairs :

$24 * 3 = $72

At online store :

Cost of Jean include a fixed fee of $6

Cost of one pair of Jean = $28

Actual cost of Jean :

$28 - $6 = $22

Hence, cost of 2 pair of jeans:

($22*2) + $6

$44 + $6 = $50
