Alex bought 4 hoodies. Each hoodie cost the same amount and they were on sale for $5 off each. Alex paid a total of $120. How much was the original price of each hoodie. Write and solve an equation to solve the problem

Total price equals 4 hoodies times (original price minus $5).

x= original hoodie price

$120= 4(x-5)
Use distributive property to multiply
120=(4*x) - (4*5)
120= 4x - 20
Add 20 to both sides
140=4x
Divide both sides by 4
$35= x

Original hoodie price was $35.

Hope this helps! :)
