Answer:

She bought 5 pairs of socks

Explanation:

Price of one pair = $8.58

Price at several pairs bought = $4.29

Total spending = $25.74

Suppose:

Number of pairs of socks = N

According to given condition

8.58 + (4.29 x N) = 25.74

4.29 x N = 25.74 -8.58

4.29 x N = 17.16

N = 17.16 / 4.29

N = 4

Check:

8.58 + (4.29 x 4) = 25.74

8.58 + 17.16 = 25.74

25.74 = 25.74

Pairs of socks bought = 4 + 1 = 5 pairs
