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. How much does each pair of socks cost? The cost of a pair of socks is $.

Answer 1

To find out how much each pair of socks costs, we start by determining how much money Amari spent on the socks after buying the shirt.

1. Amari spent a total of $47 at the mall.
2. He bought one shirt for $26.

We can calculate how much he spent on the socks:

\[ \text{Money spent on socks} = \text{Total money spent} - \text{Cost of shirt} = 47 - 26 = 21 \]

Amari bought 3 pairs of socks for a total of $21. To find the cost of each pair of socks, we divide the total cost by the number of pairs:

\[ \text{Cost of each pair of socks} = \frac{\text{Total cost of socks}}{\text{Number of pairs}} = \frac{21}{3} = 7 \]

Therefore, the cost of each pair of socks is $7.
