Answer:
Customer will save $23 on purchasing 2 pair of jeans on sale price.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Original Cost of 3 pair of jeans = $138
Sale price = 25% less
We need to find the amount save by customer on buying 2 pairs of jeans at sale price.
Solution:
First we will find the Original cost of each pair of jeans.
Now we know that;
3 pair of jeans = $138
1 pair of jeans = Original cost of each pair of jeans.
By Using Unitary method we get;
Original cost of each pair of jeans = [tex]\frac{138}{3}= \$46[/tex]
Now we will find amount of sale price on each pair of jeans.
Amount of sale price can be calculated by subtracting 25% of the original cost from original cost of the jeans.
Framing in equation form we get;
Amount of sale price of each pair of jeans = [tex]46-\frac{25}{100}\times 46 = 46 -11.5 = \$34.5[/tex]
Original cost of 2 pair of jeans = [tex]46\times 2 = \$92[/tex]
Sale price amount of 2 pair of jeans = [tex]34.5\times 2 = \$69[/tex]
Now Amount saved by customer on 2 pair of jeans can be calculated by subtracting Sale price amount of 2 pair of jeans from Original cost of 2 pair of jeans.
framing in equation form we get;
Amount saved by customer = $92 - $69 = $23
Hence Customer will save $23 on purchasing 2 pair of jeans on sale price.
