PART A:
Let the cost of each pair of socks be represented by x.
Since Amari bought 3 pairs of socks, the total cost of all the socks would be 3x.
Adding the cost of the shirt, the total amount spent at the mall would be:
26 + 3x = 47
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks is:
3x + 26 = 47
Part B:
To find the cost of each pair of socks, we can solve the equation:
3x + 26 = 47
Subtract 26 from both sides:
3x = 21
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 7
Therefore, each pair of socks costs $7.
