Francis went to the sporting goods store and spent $75.15 on 6 items. Five of those items were pairs of socks and each cost the same amount.
The 6th item was a soccer ball which cost $45. How much did each pair of
socks cost?

$6.03

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us how much each pair of socks cost. With the information we are given, we know that there are 5 pairs and that they all cost the same amount. If the total were just the 5 socks, we could easily divide the total by 5 to get the price of each pair but that's not the case. The soccer ball is included in the final cost. To overcome this, we just have to subtract the soccer ball's cost ($45) from the total.

So we subtract $45 from $75.15, giving us $30.15, the total amount of all the socks. However we need to find out how much each pair costs and there are 5 of them, so we divide 30.15 by 5. This gives us the answer, $6.03.

Each pair of socks cost $6.03.

Simpler Explanation:

The answer is $6.03

256π units²   (answer b)

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the surface area of a sphere of radius r

is             a = 4πr²

and so, if r = 8 units, then the surface area is:

a = 4π(8 units)² = 256π units²   (answer b)
