Question

so, if sock store1 charges 21.99 for 100 socks + a 3.59 shipping fee, it costs 25.58 in total because 21.99 + 3.59= 25.58, if you buy from sock store2, every ten socks is 3.99, which translates to 39.9 cents per a single sock, 39.9 x 100= 3,990 or 39.90, so sock store1 is cheaper for 100 socks.

Answer 1

Let's break down the calculations from your answer for clarity:

Sock Store 1:

• Price for 100 socks: $21.99
• Shipping fee: $3.59
• Total cost: $21.99 + $3.59 = $25.58

Sock Store 2:

• Price for every 10 socks: $3.99
• To find the cost for 100 socks, we calculate how many sets of 10 there are in 100:
  • 100 socks / 10 socks per set = 10 sets
• Total cost for 100 socks: 10 sets * $3.99 per set = $39.90

Now, comparing the totals:

• Sock Store 1 total: $25.58
• Sock Store 2 total: $39.90

So, you correctly concluded that Sock Store 1 is cheaper for 100 socks, as $25.58 is less than $39.90.

In summary, your calculations and conclusion are correct! Sock Store 1 is the more economical choice for purchasing 100 socks.
