Jocelyn bought 2 sweaters for the same price. she paid 23.56, including sales tax of 1.36 and a 5.00 discount coupon. what was the price of 1 sweater before the tax and coupon.

Number of sweaters bought by Jocelyn = 2

Price of the 2 sweaters including tax and discount coupon = 23.56

Amount of ales tax taken = 1.36

Amount of discount coupon = 5.00

Then

Price of 2 sweaters before tax = 23.56 - 1.36

= 22.20

Then

Price of the sweater before discount coupon was applied = 22.20 + 5.00

= 27.20

So

Price of 1 sweater before tax and coupon discount = 27.2/2

= 13.6

So the price of 1 sweater before tax and coupon discount is 13.6.
