Answer 1

Part 1: Ronaldo paid $5.35 per pair of socks

Part 2: Stephan paid $4.95 per pair of socks

Part 3: Ronaldo paid more per pair of socks than Stephan

Part 4: Ronaldo paid $0.40 more per pair of socks than Stephan

Explanation:

In order to determine who paid more per pair, we need to determine the unit rate (price per pair) for both Ronaldo and Stephen.

Determining Ronaldo's cost per pair:

We can determine Ronaldo's cost per pair using proportions, where p refers to the Ronaldo's cost:

$42.80 / 8 pairs = $p / 1 pair

(42.80 / 8) = p

$5.35 = p

Thus, Ronaldo paid $5.35 per pair of socks.

Determining Stephan's cost per pair:

We can also determine Stephan's cost per pair using proportions, where p refers to Stephan's cost"

$29.70 / 6 pairs = $p / 1 pair

(29.70 / 6) = p

$4.95 = p

Thus, Stephan paid $4.95 per pairs of socks.

Determining who paid more:

Therefore, Ronaldo paid more per pair.

Determining how much more per pair Ronaldo paid:

Now we can determine how much more per pair Ronaldo paid than Stephan by finding the difference of their costs:

Difference = 5.35 - 4.95

Difference = 0.40

Thus, Ronaldo paid $0.40 more per pair of socks than Stephan.
