A dozen pairs of gloves of 180 are available at a discount of 10%. How many pairs of gloves can be bought for 54

To determine how many pairs of gloves can be bought for $54 with the discount, we can follow these steps:

1. **Find the original price of one pair of gloves:**
   - There are 12 pairs of gloves for $180.
   - The price per pair of gloves = $ \frac{180}{12} = 15 $ dollars per pair.

2. **Apply the 10% discount:**
   - The price after a 10% discount on one pair of gloves:
     \[
     15 \times 0.90 = 13.50 \text{ dollars per pair.}
     \]

3. **Determine how many pairs of gloves can be bought with $54:**
   - Divide $54 by the discounted price per pair:
     \[
     \frac{54}{13.50} = 4 \text{ pairs.}
     \]

So, you can buy **4 pairs of gloves** for $54.
