Question

yesny had $240 to spend on five pairs of jeans. How much did each pair of jeans cost if she has $10 left

Answer 1

$46

Explanation:

240-10=230 divided by 5= 46

Answer 2

$46

Explanation:

Let each pair of jeans cost $x.

Total sum of money= cost of 5 pairs of jeans +amount left

`240 = 5x + 10`

-10 on both sides:

`5x = 240 - 10`

Simplify:

`5x = 230`

Divide by 5 on both sides:

`x = (230)/(5) \\ x = 46`

Thus, each pair of jeans cost $46.
