A store sells jump ropes. Each jump rope costs the same amount. During a sale, the store reduces the price of each jump rope by $1.90. Mar spends $12.78 on 2 jump ropes at the sale price.
What was the price of 1 jump rope before the sale?

Each price was 2.59

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to know the price for each jump rope and there are 2 of them you divide 12.78 by 2 =6.39. However during the sale the reduced the price by 1.90, but there are 2 jump ropes so I added 1.90 by 1.90 = 3.80. 6.39- 3.80 = 2.59.

$16.58

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.90 x 2 = $3.80

$12.78 + $3.80 = $16.58
