Astore has a 5% sales of jeans. A lady buys 20 pairs of jeans, how much does she pay for each pair of jeans?
To find out how much the lady pays for each pair of jeans, you'll need the total amount she paid and divide it by the number of pairs of jeans she purchased.
First, let's calculate the total amount she paid. Since the store has a 5% sales discount on jeans, we can assume that she paid 95% of the original price.
So, if the original price of a pair of jeans is denoted as 'P', she paid 95% of 'P' for each pair of jeans.
Now, let's calculate the total amount she paid for 20 pairs of jeans.
Total amount she paid = 95% of 'P' × 20
To determine the price per pair of jeans, divide the total amount she paid by the number of jeans purchased.
Price per pair of jeans = Total amount paid / Number of jeans
Let's assume the original price of a pair of jeans is $X. Now, we can calculate the price per pair of jeans:
Total amount she paid = 95% of $X × 20
Price per pair of jeans = (95% of $X × 20) / 20
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Price per pair of jeans = 0.95 * $X = $0.95X
Thus, she pays $0.95X (or 95% of the original price) for each pair of jeans.
