Help plssss

Answer 1

4.99/pair

Explanation:

Solve

$20 - $5.03 = $14.97 substract

$14.97 ÷ 3 = $4.99 divide

20 - 5.03 = 14.97 = total cost. 14.97÷3 = 4.99/pair.

Therefore, the cost in dollars and cents for each pair of socks is 4.99/pair.

Answer 2

$4.99

Explanation:

20 - 5.03 = 14.97

Since that is how much was paid you then divide by how many socks were bought

14.97 ÷ 3 = 4.99
