#$24#

He spend a total of #$92# for #4#pairs of jeans and a T-shirt worth of #$8#

Hence the money spent on jeans will be

TOTAL MONEY-(Cost of T-shirt)= #$92-$8=>$84#

#4*#pairs of jeans = #$84#

Then for a pair of jeans It will cost #84/4=>$21#

since he had a coupon of #$3# for each pair of jeans ,

and he paid #$21# for each pair of jeans , The original price of the jeans will be #21+3=$24#.
