Answer 1

A total of $170.86 will be spent if you buy shirts for $44.11

Explanation:

Step 1:

Let the cost of shirts be $x.

Given that, one pair of jeans costs $39.95, 2 pairs cost 2 * $ 39.95 which is $79.9. Jacket costs $45.99.

Step 2:

Create an equation with this given data.

$170.86 = $x + $79.9 + $45.99

Step 3:

Calculate the value of x from this equation to get the cost of shirts.

$170.86 = $x + $125.89

$x = $170.86 - $125.89

$x = $44.11
