Marsha gave the cashier $20 to pay for 3 pairs of socks. The Cashier gave her $5.03 in change . Each pair of socks cost the same amount.

What is the cost in dollars and cents for each pair of socks? ____ $

Answer 1

First, you must subtract.

$20 - $5.03 = $14.97This is because he recieved $5.03 in exchange.

Next, you must divide by 3.

$14.97 / 3 = $4.99

Therefore each pair of socks costs $4.99.
