Amari went to the mall and spent $47. He bought one shirt for $26 and he bought three pairs of socks. Each pair of socks cause the same amount of money. Write an equation that can be used to find a cost of each pair of socks. Use x to represent the cost of each pair of socks
Let's assume the cost of each pair of socks is x dollars. Since Amari bought three pairs of socks, the total cost of the socks would be 3x dollars. The equation that can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks is:
Total cost = Cost of shirt + Cost of socks
$47 = $26 + 3x
