Emily went to the store and bought art supplies for $20 and 2 skirts that cost the same amount of money. She spent a total of $50. How much did Emily pay for each of the skirts?
First, you need to set up the problem with the information given. The cost of the skirts and art supplies must equal $<<50=50>>50.
Since we know that the cost of the skirts is the same price and that she bought art supplies for $20, we can set up an equation: 2x + 20 = 50, with x being the cost of the skirts.
To solve the equation, subtract 20 from both sides, to give you the new equation: 2x = 30.
Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2, 2x/2 = 30/2 gives you x = 15.
Therefore, each skirt cost $<<15=15>>15.
