Mr. gomez bought 2 pairs of jeans each costing 45.50, and 1 pair of shoes. he spent a total amount of 132.25,. how much did the pair of shoes cost

The answer is $41.25 because the 2 jeans are $91 as a collective plus the supposed $41.25 shoes equals the total amount (assuming no tax) $132.25.

Answer: The pair of shoes cost $41.25

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought 2 pairs of jeans that each cost $45.50

and one pair of shoes that cost X

The total amount is $132.25, and we want to find the value X.

So we have that

(Cost of jeans) * 2 + cost of shoes = total cost

$45*50*2 + X = $132.25

$91 + X = $132.25

Now we isolate X

X = $132.25 - $91 = $41.25
