Question

Cory went to Kohl's and bought 10 pairs of socks for $2.50 each and 3 pairs of shoes for d dollars each. He spent a total of $135.97. Write an equation to find the cost of one pair of shoes.

Answer 1

`25+3d=135.97`

Explanation:

Number of pairs of socks = 10

Cost of each pair of socks = $2.50

Cost of 10 pairs of socks = 10 × 2.50 = $25

Number of pairs of shoes = 3

Cost of each pair of shoes = $d

Cost of d pair of shoes = $3d

Therefore,

`25+3d=135.97`

So,

Equation is
`25+3d=135.97`
