Question

The Shoes cost $42

Answer 1

Answer:

Martha can buy 7 packs of socks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Martha has $53

Shoes = $42

Socks = $1.50 each

First subtract 42 from 53 to figure out how much is left:

⇒ $53 - $42 = $11

then divide the answer by how much each pack of socks cost:

⇒ $\frac{11}{1.50}$ = 7.33

next, take the whole number of the answer and multiply that by $1.50 to figure how much 7 pack of socks cost:

⇒ 7 socks x $1.50 = $10.50

subtract the answer from $11 to figure out how much remains:

⇒ $11 - $10.5 = $0.50
