Question

Tina uses a $50 gift certificate to buy a pair of pajamas for $17.95 a necklace for $25.49 and three 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?

Answer 1

  50.00                32.05               6.56                  6.25 divided by 3 is 2.07.
-17.95                -25.49             -0.33                  Each pair of socks costs
-----------          -------------        ------------                $2.07
$32.05                $6.56              $6.23

Answer 2

I think the answer should be that each pair of socks cost $2.07 because $17.95 + $25.49 = $43.44 and than you add $0.33 + $43.44 = 43.77 after that I subtracted 50 by $43.77 and got me $6.23 and I divide that by 3 and got $2.07
