1. **State the problem:** Henny spends 95 buying 2 identical pants, 1 shirt, and 1 hat. The shirt and hat each cost 16. We need to find the price of each pair of pants.
2. **Write the equation:** Let the price of one pair of pants be $p$. Then the total cost is:
$$2p + 16 + 16 = 95$$
3. **Simplify the equation:**
$$2p + 32 = 95$$
4. **Isolate the term with $p$:**
$$2p = 95 - 32$$
$$2p = 63$$
5. **Solve for $p$ by dividing both sides by 2:**
$$p = \frac{63}{2}$$
6. **Show cancellation:**
$$p = \cancel{\frac{63}{\cancel{2}}}$$
7. **Calculate the final value:**
$$p = 31.5$$
**Answer:** Each pair of pants costs 31.5.
