Harper needs to buy some new leotards for gymnastics practice. At the sporting goods store, she finds 2 leotards on sale for $24.80 each. She buys them both and finds out that she saved a total of $22.38. If she saved the same amount on each one, what was the original price of each leotard?

$35.99

Step-by-step explanation:

2 · $24.80 =  $49.60 (total price)

$49.60 + $22.38 = $71.98 (original total)

$71.98 / 2 = $35.99 (original price of each)

expression #3 is not equivalent. the others are.

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted
