Question

A store is having a Back To School Sale.The total for a skirt,a pair of shoes,and a pair of socks is $34.95 before tax.The pair of socks costs $3.75.The original prices of the skirt and shoes were the same.What was the sales price of the skirt

Answer 1

Answer:

15.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The sub total before tax is 34.95. You know the socks cost 3.75 and the skirt and shoes are the same or equal price. This means after subtracting the cost of the socks, you spent 34.95 - 3.75 = 31.20. Since the skirt and shoes cost the same, divide 31.20 by 2. This is $15.60.
