Problema Solution
Julie spent a total of $17.50 for 5 pairs of socks and 5 handkerchiefs. Each handkerchief cost $0.50 more than each pair of socks. What was the cost of each handkerchief?
Answer provided by our tutors
let cost of shocks be $x and cost of handkerchief be $ x +0.50
5x + 5(x+0.50) = 17.50
5x+5x+2.50 = 17.50
10x = 15
x = 1.50
cost of 1 pair of handkerchief = 1.50+0.50 = $2.00
