Answer:

We can get 13 pairs of socks

Explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

3 pairs x pairs

---------- = -------------

7 dollars 32 dollars

Using cross products

3 *32 = 7x

96 = 7x

Divide by 7

96/7 = 7x/7

13.71428571 =x

We can only buy whole pairs of socks

13=x

We can get 13 pairs of socks
