a 60
b 16
c 13
d 51

Answer 1

The answer is C

Explanation:

Answer 2

option C = $13

Explanation:

Amount she had in the beginning = $73

Cost of shirt = $22

Let the cost of jeans be = x

Balance in hand = $38

Amount in hand = 38 + 22 + x

73 = 60 + x

73 - 60 = x

13 = x

Therefore, cost of a pair of jeans = $13
