Question

Andrea spent $40 at a shoe store. She bought a pair of shoes for $25 and 5 identical pairs of socks. How much was each pair of socks?

a. Write an equation to represent this situation. Use x to represent the price of each pair of socks.
b. Use your equation from part A to solve for the price of each pair of socks, x.

Answer 1

Answer: each pair of socks cost 3 dollars

25+5x=40

take 25 from both sides

5x=15

divide 15 by five

x=3
