Daniel wants to purchase some clothes. He buys one leather jacket for $39 and 3 pairs of socks for a total of $63. If each pair of socks costs the same price, write and solve an equation to determine the price of one pair of socks. *

The cost of one pair of socks is $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of leather jacket = $39

Let x be the cost of a pair of socks.

Number of pair of socks purchased = 3

Total cost = $63

We can write the equation for total cost as

Equating we get,

Thus, the cost of one pair of socks is $8.
