Tina uses a $50.00 gift certificate to buy a pair of pajamas for $17.97, a necklace for $25.49, and 3 pairs of socks that each cost the same amount. Tina has to pay $0.33 because the gift certificate does not cover the total cost of all the items. How much does each pair of socks cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$2.29

Step-by-step explanation:

She spent the $50.00 gift certificate plus $0.33.

$50.00 + $0.33 = $50.33.

She spent a total of $50.33.

The pajamas cost $17.97.

The necklace cost $25.49.

The total cost of the pajamas and necklace is:

$17.97 + $25.49 = $43.46.

Since she spent a total of $50.33, we now subtract the amount she spent on the pajamas and necklace to find out the cost of the three pairs of socks.

$50.33 - $43.46 = $6.87

The three pairs of socks cost a total of $6.87.

Since all pairs of socks cost the same amount, we now divide $6.87 by 3 to find the price of each pair of socks.

$6.87/3 = $2.29

Each pair of socks costs $2.29.
