Answer 1

Answer:

$55

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: Jane paid a total of $79 for a paid of shoes and 2 hats. The price of each hats was $12. Use rounding to estimate how much Jane paid for a pair of shoes.

Given: Total payment made by Jane is $79.

           Price of one hat is $12

First let calculate the price of two hats.

Total price= $\ 12\times 2\ hats= \ 24$

∴ Total price paid for 2 hats is $24.

As given Jane bought a pair of shoes also.

Now, solving to find price paid for a pair of shoes.

Price for a pair of shoes= $Total\ price\ paid - Price\ of\ hats$

∴ Price for a pair of shoes= $\ 79-\ 24= \ 55$

Jane paid $55 for a pair of shoes.
