During the tax-free holiday, Aubrey receives $12.33 in change after paying for 3 pairs of equally priced jeans with a $50 bill. Find p, the price of one pair of jeans.

Answer: the price of one pair of jeans is $12.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the price of one pair of jeans.

During the tax-free holiday, Aubrey receives $12.33 in change after paying for 3 pairs of equally priced jeans with a $50 bill. Since the 3 pairs of equally priced, it means that the total cost of the 3 pairs of jeans would be 3*p = $3p

Total amount that was collected from him for the 3 pairs of jeans would be 50 - 12.33 = $37.67

Therefore

3p = 37.67

p = 37.67/3 = $12.56
