Answer:

$4.99

Step-by-step explanation:

If she pays with $20 and recieves $5.03 in change, her total cost was 20 - 5.03 or $14.97. If each pair of socks is the same amount, 14.97 / 3 will give you the amount per each pair. 14.97 / 3 = $4.99

We know that Marsha received $5.03 in change when she gave the cashier $20.

so 20 - 5.03 = 14.97

We know Marsha bought 3 pairs of socks, so

14.97 ÷ 3 = 4.99
