Let p be the cost of each pair of pants.
The total cost of the pants, without the discount, would be 7p.
With the discount of $11, the total cost becomes 7p - 11.
We also know that the total cost is $73, so we can write the equation:
7p - 11 = 73
Adding 11 to both sides of the equation, we get:
7p = 84
Dividing both sides by 7, we find:
p = 12
Therefore, each pair of pants costs $12.
