Amari went to the 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:
Question 2
PART B
How much does each pair of socks cost?
The cost of a pair of socks is $?
PART A:
Let x represent the cost of each pair of socks.
The equation can be written as:
3x (cost of 3 pairs of socks) = $47 - $26 (cost of the shirt)
PART B:
To find the value of x (cost of each pair of socks), we can rearrange the equation and solve for x:
3x = $47 - $26
3x = $21
x = $21 / 3
x = $7
Therefore, each pair of socks costs $7.
