Answer: The cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Meryl spends a total $68.82 for 2 pairs of sneakers with the same cost.

If the sales tax is $5.32 and she also uses a coupon for $3.00 off her purchase.

Then the total cost of 2 pairs of sneakers

\(=\$68.82- \$5.32+\$3.00\\=\$66.50\)

Then the cost of each pair of sneaker\(=\frac{\$66.50}{2}=\$33.25\)

Hence , the cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.
