Lisa paid $175.98 for 2 pair of shoes and 3 pair of jeans. Each pair of shoes cost 24.99. If each pair of jeans cost the same amount, how much did each pair of jeans cost?
First you add the cost of 2 pair of shoes which is 49.98. Then you subtract it from the total cost (175.98), which is 49.98 - 175.98 = 126. The you divide 126 by 3, which is 42. Each pair of jeans cost $42
