Question

Your mom is taking you shopping at the mall. She has $78 to spend on you. You already know that $18 of that money is for your school backpack. You need to get 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for your school uniform. The pants and the shirts cost the same amount for each. How much does each shirt or pair of pants cost?

Answer 1

The answer is that each shirt and pair of pants costs 15$

Explanation:

So you have 78$, and you already need to buy a backpack so then you have 60$ dollars because the backpack is 18$, and 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants is 4 pieces of clothing in all, 60$ divided by 4 pieces of clothing equals 15$ per piece of clothing (78 - 18 = 60 divided by 4 = 15)

Answer 2

each coat $15

Explanation:

$78-$18 divided by 4 =15

hope this helps :)
