Rob paid $50.15 for two pairs of jeans, which include a 15% discount.What was the price of one pair of jeans before the discount was added?$59.00$167.17$21.80$29.50
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to find the total cost of the jeans before the discount. Since the price Rob paid includes a 15% discount, the price he paid is 85% of the original price (100% - 15% = 85%).
So, we can set up the equation:
0.85 * (original price) = $50.15
To find the original price, we divide $50.15 by 0.85:
(original price) = 59
Since the original price is for two pairs of jeans, we divide this by 2 to find the price of one pair of jeans before the discount:
(price of one pair of jeans) = 29.50
So, the price of one pair of jeans before the discount was added is $29.50.
