price of one pair of shoes?
price of one pair: $

Respuesta :

Answer:

$57.99 per pair of shoe

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so first we need to deduct the sales taxes from the shoes.  I am assuming that the sales tax is a total of the 3 pairs of shoes combined;

$184.41 - $10.44 = $173.97

Now you can divide the remaining cost across the pair of shoes;

$173.97 / 3 = $57.99 per pair of shoe

Each shoe also had a $3.48 tax on them, which means that they had a 6% tax on them. Hope this helped!
