Answer:

Anika buys.. Amount: 4 pairs of socks. for the price of.. Count: $17.16

Explanation:

$4.29

+

$4.29

+

$4.29

+

$4.29 = $17.16

And now, we add both of our prices together.

$17.16

+

$8.58

(I will go through the steps for you.)

We do the ones place first, so the numbers after the decimals and to the very end.

8

+

6 = 14

We carry the 1 on 14 over the 5 and add..

5

+

1

+

1 = 7

So now we have 54 done. (25.54)

Now the first half, before the decimals.

8

+

7 = 15

Carry the 1 over the 1 in 17.

Then we have 5 since we took away the 1.

1

+

1 = 2

And we get our price amount. Just that easy.

17. 16

+

8.58 = 25.54

Either way our answer is: 4 pairs of socks.
