Answer: $4.99

Explanation:

The amount that Savannah paid for the 3 pairs of socks will be gotten by subtracting $5.03 from $20 which will be:

= $20 - $5.03

= $14.97

Since each paid of socks cost thesame amount, the cost of each pair of socks will be:

= $14.97/3

= $4.99

Each pair of socks cost $4.99
