A store is having a Back To School Sale. The total for a skirt, a pair of shoes, and a pair of socks is $32.35 before tax. The pair of socks costs $3.75.The original prices of the skirt and shoes were the same. What was the sales price of the skirt

The sales price of the skirt was $14.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you know that the total for the three items is $32.35 which is:

x+y+z=32.35

x is a skirt

y is a pair of shoes

z is a pair of socks

Also, you know that the pair of socks costs $3.75, so you can replace the value of z and subtract this from the total amount to have the price of the skirt plus the pair of shoes:

x+y+3.75=32.35

x+y=32.35-3.75

x+y=28.6

Now, as the original prices of the skirt and shoes were the same and you know that the sum of the two items is equal to $28.6, you can divide this by 2:

$28.6/2=$14.3

According to this, the answer is that the sales price of the skirt was $14.3.
