Answer:

4 PAIRS OF SOCKS

Step-by-step explanation:

50-24.95=25.05

25.05/5.95

4 pairs of socks

Answer: 4 pairs of socks.


Step-by-step explanation:



We first do 50 - 24.95 to find out how much money you have after you buy the pants.


That is $25.05


We'll divide $25.05 by 5.95, since each sock is $5.95.


That gives us 4.21, but that has a decimal. You can't buy 0.21 of a sock, so we ignore the decimal part of the answer. What is left is 4 pairs of socks.
