Question

A store sells paint sets each paint set costs the same amount during a sale the store reduces the price of each paint set by $1.35 Jenny sends $6.88 on 2 paint sets at the sale price. What was the price of 1 paint set before the sale?

Answer 1

Money reduction on a paint set during a sale = $1.35

Cost of two paint sets Jenny bought in a sale = $6.88

Given :-

Cost of every paint set is equivalent .

Then :-

Cost of each paint set during the sale :-

`= (6.88)/(2)`

`= $3.44`

The cost of each painting set during the sale was $3.44 .

Cost of each paint set before the sale :-

`= 3.44 + 1.35`

`=$4.79`

Therefore , the cost of each paint set before the sale was = $4.79 .

Answer 2

$4.79

Explanation:

divide $6.88/2

add $1.35 that's it
