Question

Casey went to the store and purchase case 12 pairs of socks.And 3 pairs of shoes for 18.20 each. She spent a total of 81.60. How much did she pay for each sock

Answer 1

Casey paid 2.25 in the required currency for each pair of socks.

Explanation:

Casey spent a total of $81.60 on both 12 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of shoes.

A pair of shoe = 18.20, then;

3 pairs of shoe = 3 x 18.20

= 54.60

The amount spent on socks = total amount - amount spent on shoes

= 81.60 - 54.60

= 27.00

So that,

The price of each pair of socks =
`(amount spent on socks)/(number of pairs)`

=
`(27)/(12)`

= 2.25

Casey paid 2.25 in the required currency for each pair of socks.
