Answer 1

$29

Explanation:

Together they spent a mean price of $40 on 8 sweaters. The first 7 sweaters cost $50, $55, $30, $35, $39, $40 and $42. How much, in dollars, does the 8th sweater cost?

If the mean price is $40, 8 x 40 = the total price, = 320

Add up what we knew they spent:

50 + 55 + 30 + 35 + 39 + 40 + 42 = 291

The difference between those 2 numbers is the price of the 8th sweater

320 - 291 = 29

Answer 2

The coat is it worth four dollars
