Im confused on how to solve this question,please help.Meryl spends a total of $68.82 for 2 pairs of sneakers with same cost.sales tax is $5.32.she also uses a coupon for $3.00 off her purchase.How much does each pair of sneakers cost?

First, you take away $5.32 from $68.82 to get $63.50.

Next, you add $3.00 to 63.50 to get $66.50.

Finally, you divide $66 by two, and you get $33.25 as your final answer. The 2 pairs of sneakers cost 33.25 dollars.

I actually meant to say this:

Finally, you divide $66.50 by two, and you get 33.25 as your final answer.

And not:

Finally, you divide $66 by two, and you get 33.25 as your final answer.

So, $66 is actually supposed to be $66.50.

Sorry, that I might have just confused you again! :)

3.95 x 2 = 7.90 markers
15.85 - 7.90 = 7.95 left over
7.95 - 1.23(tax)= 6.72
6.72 + .75 (coupon)= 7.47
7.47/3= 2.49

This was so confusingat first but now I understand what I have to do

Mason spent $15.85 for 3 notebook and 2 boxes of markers the boxer of markers cost $3.95 each, and the sales tax was $1.23. Mason also used a coupon for $0.75 off his purchase. If each notebook had the same cost, how much did each notebook cost

Dunno

$66.50

This equals to $66.50

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's assume the cost of each pair of sneakers is 'x'.

Meryl spends a total of $68.82, which includes the cost of 2 pairs of sneakers, sales tax, and the coupon discount. The equation can be written as:

2x + sales tax - coupon = total amount spent

Substituting the given values:

2x + $5.32 - $3.00 = $68.82

Now, let's solve the equation step by step to find the value of 'x':

2x + $2.32 = $68.82

Subtract $2.32 from both sides:

2x = $66.50

Divide both sides by 2:

x = $33.25

Hence, each pair of sneakers costs $33.25.
