At the mall, you spent a total of $170.86. You bought 2 pairs of jeans for $ 39.95 each,a jacket for $45.99, and shirts for 14.99each. How many shirts did you buy?

jeans=$79.90
jacket=45.99
total cost so far=125.89
170.86-125.89=$44.97
14.99x=44.97..solve for x, that's the amount of shirts bought.

To find out how many shirts you bought, we need to subtract the amounts you spent on jeans and jacket from the total amount you spent.

The total amount you spent is $170.86.

You bought 2 pairs of jeans for $39.95 each, which means you spent 2 * $39.95 = $79.90 on jeans.

You also bought a jacket for $45.99.

Let's calculate the total amount spent on jeans and the jacket: $79.90 + $45.99 = $125.89.

To find the amount spent on shirts, we need to subtract the total spent on jeans and jacket from the total amount spent: $170.86 - $125.89 = $44.97.

Each shirt costs $14.99.

To find out how many shirts you bought, divide the total spent on shirts by the cost of each shirt: $44.97 / $14.99 = 2.999.

Since we can't have a fraction of a shirt, we round the number down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, you bought 2 shirts.
