Question

Gwen buys 3 identical pairs of shoes at Store a. She pays $110.25 after the discount. what is the original price of each pair?

Answer 1

In perspective this looks tricky but really its no ;) just follow it slowly.
110.25  is your total cost 
3 is how many you bought.
So doing division 3/110.25= 36.75
CHECK: 36.75 + 36.75 + 36.75 = 110.25.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gwen buys 3 identical pairs of shoes at Store.

She pays $110.25 after the discount.

So, cost of each pair will be = $\frac{110.25}{3}= 36.75$ dollars

As the discount is not given, but if it was given, you can find the original price by adding this cost of each pair with discount price.
