Answer: The equation that models the purchases she made with $43.92 is given by
2.99x+12.99y=\$43.92

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Let x be the number of pairs of socks purchased.

Let y be the number of blouses purchased.

Cost of each pair of socks = $2.99

Cost of each blouse = $12.99

Total cost = $43.92

So, According to question, it becomes,


2.99x+12.99y=\$43.92

Hence, the equation that models the purchases she made with $43.92 is given by
2.99x+12.99y=\$43.92
