James buys a shirt and a pair of of socks on sale for 25% off. If the price of the shirt before the sale was $24 and he spent a total of $24, what was the original price of the socks? I NEED TO SHOW WORK TOO!!

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the variable X as:

X = Original Price of the Socks, in units dollars

Then,

(X + 24)(100% - 25%) = 24

(X + 24)(0.75) = 24

X = (24/0.75) - 24 = 8 dollars.
