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.

Question

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 1

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

Let \( x \) represent the cost of each pair of socks. Since Amari bought 3 pairs of socks, the total cost for the socks would be \( 3x \).

The total amount spent is the cost of the shirt plus the total cost of the socks. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

\[ 26 + 3x = 47 \]

This equation can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks.
