Of course! To find the sale price of the jeans, we can set up an equation using the given information. Let's call the original price of the jeans "x."
We know that the jeans were on sale last week, so their sale price would be the original price minus the savings. According to the information, the sale price is $29.97, and the savings are $4.99.
Thus, we can set up the equation:
x - $4.99 = $29.97
To solve for "x," we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
By adding $4.99 to both sides of the equation, we get:
x = $29.97 + $4.99
Performing the addition, we have:
x = $34.96
Therefore, the original price of the jeans was $34.96.
