Answer:

$31.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we need to write an equation to represent the situation and then solve for the variable. We first need to define a variable that makes sense to the problem, the variable should represent what we are solving for.

x=cost of a single pair of jeans

3x=94.50

Now, we need to solve for x to find the cost of a single pair of jeans.

3x/3=94.50/3

x=31.50

The cost of a single pair of jeans is $31.50
