Answer 1

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:

Answer 2

To find the cost of each pair of socks, we can set up an equation based on the total amount Amari spent.

Let \( x \) represent the cost of each pair of socks. Since Amari bought one shirt for $26 and 3 pairs of socks, we can express the total cost as follows:

\[
26 + 3x = 47
\]

This equation represents the total amount spent ($47), where $26 is the cost of the shirt and \( 3x \) is the total cost of the 3 pairs of socks.

Answer 3

The equation to represent the total amount Amari spent can be written as follows:

\[
26 + 3x = 47
\]

In this equation, \( x \) represents the cost of each pair of socks, $26 is the cost of the shirt, and $47 is the total amount spent.
