Answer 1

The answer is: $18.00

1. I multiplied $18.00 by 2. $18.00*2=$36.00
2. Multiply the discount of 15% to the total amount for two pairs of glasses. $36.00*0.15= $5.40.
3. Subtract the discount from the original price. $36.00-$5.40= $30.60.
4. So the final answer for one pair of glasses is $18.00.
