Super Sprouts children's store is having its annual spring sale, when every item in the store gets marked down. During the sale, pajama sets sell for $6 less than full price. Mrs. Rodriguez purchases 4 matching pajama sets: one for each of her children. She pays a total of $68. How much does each pajama set cost at full price?

1 answer

Let x be the original price of each pajama set.

During the sale, each pajama set is sold for $6 less than the original price, so the sale price is x - $6.

Mrs. Rodriguez purchased 4 pajama sets, so her total cost is 4(x - $6) = $68.

4x - $24 = $68
4x = $92
x = $23

Therefore, each pajama set costs $23 at full price.
