Answer:

21 pairs of socks

Explanation:

We can find out how much money Chang has to spend on socks by subtracting the price of sneakers from his total money to spend by solving 160 - 95. From that, we get our answer of $65 that Chang has to spend on socks. We can divide 65 by 3 to see how many pairs of socks he can buy and we get our answer of 21 pairs of socks.

(sorry if it's confusing but I hope it helped anyway)
