A store decides on the cost of a pair of jeans by tripling their cost and then decreasing it by $15. The cost of the jeans in the store is $105. What does the store pay for the jeans?

40$

Step-by-step explanation:

if we write it out in an equation, we get

105(final price) = 3x (triple the value they produce it for) - 15 (they degrease it by 15)

subtract 15 from both sides, you get 120 = 3x

divide both sides by 3, you get 40 = x

the correct answer is you spend $55.78 more in a brand store that buy ing in a normal store.

step-by-step explanation:

brand = spend   $ 135.85 total

store = spend $80.07 total

$119.20

step-by-step explanation:

$372.50 - 60% off is $149. $149-20% off is $119.20
