At the same store, Peter bought 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts for $62 total, and Jessica bought 2 shirts for $20 total. Each pair of pants cost the same price, and each shirt cost the same price. How much does 1 pair of pants cost? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The shirts each cost $20 / 2 shirts = $10. Let X be the pants' cost. Peter bought 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts for 2 * X + 5 shirts * $10 / shirt = $62. Subtracting $50 from both sides, we get 2 * X = $12. Dividing both sides by 2, we get X = $6. So, the answer is 6.
