Answer 1

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.

PART A

First, we need to set up an equation based on the information given.

Amari spent a total of $47. He bought one shirt for $26 and 3 pairs of socks, which we'll represent as \(x\) (the cost of each pair of socks).

So, the total amount spent can be represented with the following equation:

\[ 26 + 3x = 47 \]

PART B

Now, we need to find out how much each pair of socks costs by solving the equation we wrote in Part A.

1. Start with the equation: \[ 26 + 3x = 47 \]

2. Subtract 26 from both sides: \[ 3x = 47 - 26 \] \[ 3x = 21 \]

3. Divide both sides by 3: \[ x = \frac{21}{3} \] \[ x = 7 \]

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