Tina uses a $50 gift certificate to buy a pair of

pajamas for $17.97, a necklace for $25.49, and
3 pairs of socks that each cost the same amount.
Tina has to pay $0.33 because the gift certificate
does not cover the total cost of all the items.
How much does each pair of socks cost?

Each pair of socks would cost $2.29.

(50 - (17.97 + 25.49)+ 0.33) / 3
(50 - 43.46 + 0.33) / 3
6.87 / 3 = 2.29
Actually it is 2.07 because 17.97+25.49 is 43.46 and 43.46+0.33 is 43.79 then subtract 50.00 and 43.79 then you divide 6.21 from 3 and you will get 2.07
if you divide 6.87รท3=3.29
hafsat you are wrong 3 goes into 6 twice
Actually it is 2.07 beacause you add 17.97 and 25.49 and get 43.46. Then you add 43.46 plus 0.33 and get 43.79. Then you subtract 43.79 from 50.00 and get 6.21. Lastly, you divide 6.21 by 3 and get 2.07.
i got $2.29 according to my math
I did my math on clear paper and it was $2.29
P.S thanks for making this app!
It's actually $2.29 because you subtract $50.00 from $43.46 then add that to 0.33 which is 6.87. Then you divide 6.87 by 3 to get $2.29
so that is how you get $2.29
2.29 is the answer
(17.97+25.49)+0.33=43.46 (50-43.79)=6.21 (6.21/3)
I want a simpler answer please
PLEASE
