Daniel bought 3 sweaters that each cost the same amount and a jacket that cost $40. The items he bought cost a total of $100 before tax was added. What was the cost of each sweater? Write an equation that represents this situation and solve.




Please somebody help with this question, thanks!!!.

Respuesta :

3x+40=100


subtract 40 from both sides

3x= 60

divide by 3

x=20
each Sweater cost 20
