Question

Marsha gave the cashier $20.00 to pay for three pairs of socks and received $6.20 in change. If all three socks were equally priced, what was the cost in dollars and cents for each pair of socks?

PLS Help !!!

Answer 1

$4.60

Step by Step:

First, you have to subtract $20 from $6.20 which is the change you got back. Once you remove that, you will get $13.80, the actual amount of all three pairs of socks. Now, you have to figure out how much each pair of socks is. So you need to divide 13.80 by 3 which is $4.60. So each pair of socks was $4.60

Hope that helps :D
