Amari went to all mall and spent $47. He bought one shirt for $26 and he bought 3 pairs of socks. Each pair of socks cost the same amount of money.
Part a
Write an equation that can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks. Use x to represent the cost of each pair of socks.
Type your equation:
Part b
How much does each pair of socks cost?
The cost of a pair of socks is $
Part a: The equation to find the cost of each pair of socks is:
26 + 3x = 47
Part b: To find the cost of each pair of socks, we need to solve the equation.
Subtracting 26 from both sides of the equation:
3x = 47 - 26
3x = 21
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 21/3
x = 7
Therefore, each pair of socks costs $7.
