11) Ron paid x dollars for a pair of jeans. Tim bought the same pair of jeans for half the price as Ron. If they paid a total of $45 for the 2 pairs, how much did
each spend on their jeans?
PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS!!

Ron paid $ 30 for his pair of jeans, while Tim paid $ 15 for the same model of jeans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ron paid X dollars for a pair of jeans, and Tim bought the same pair of jeans for half the price as Ron, if they paid a total of $ 45 for the 2 pairs, to determine how much did each spend on their jeans you must perform the following calculation:

X + 1 / 2X = 45

1X + 0.5X = 45

1.5X = 45

X = 45 / 1.5

X = 30

So Ron paid $ 30 for his pair of jeans, while Tim paid $ 15 for the same model of jeans.
