SUPER EASY MATH QUESTION!!!!!! 25 POINTSSSSS!!!!!!!! PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Problem:
Five sisters each bought matching scarves and two pairs of socks. The scarves were priced at $12.00. If the total bill for all 5 sisters was $125.00, what was the price of one pair of socks? (Please answer in equation form. Ex: x = 29).

Answer 1

x - price of one pair socks

The equation:

`5(2x)+5*12=125`

`10x+60=125` subtract 60 from both sides

`10x=65` divide both sides by 10

`\boxed{x=6.5}`

Answer: The price of one pair of socks is $6.50.

5(2x) - five sisters · two pairs of socks

5 · 12 - five scraves

125 - total cost
