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 to represent the cost of each pair of socks.

Answer 1

To find the cost of each pair of socks, we can set up an equation based on the information provided.

Let \( x \) represent the cost of each pair of socks.

Amari spent $26 on one shirt and \( 3x \) on three pairs of socks. The total amount spent is $47.

We can express this with the following equation:

\[ 26 + 3x = 47 \]

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