D. $6​

Answer: D. 6

Step-by-step explanation: 7 + 7 = 14

30 - 4 - 14 = 12

12/2 = 6

In this question, i first went to see what the total amount is, which, when subtracting the change from the money paid (30-4) is $26

Next, i went to see the rings cost. Since she bought 2 rings for the price of 7 each, i multiplied 2 with the cost (2 x 7) which is $14

That brought me to the equation:

[tex]26 - 14= 12[/tex]

The cost of the earring together is $12, but since we want to find out how much each pair costs, i divided 12 by 2 (12/2) and got the answer:

$6 per pair of earring (Letter D)

thank you! btw can u please give me brainly :3
