Answer 1

25.98 +  6.39 = 32.37
 32.37 divided by 3 equals 10.79
 Each pair of socks cost $10.79

Answer 2

Answer:

Find out the how much does each pair of socks cost when bought individually .

To prove

Let us assume that the original price of one pair of shoes be x.

Than cost for three pair of shoes be 3x.

As given

Maritza is buying a multipack of 3 pairs is socks for $25.98.

She will save $6.39 by buying multipack instead of buying 3 individual pairs of the same socks.

Than the equation becomes

3x - 25.98 = 6.39

3x =  25.98 + 6.39

3x = 32.37

$x = \frac{32.37}{3}$

x = $10.79

Therefore each pair of socks cost when bought individually is $10.79 .
