Answer 2

Given:

A store sold 25 pairs of socks, making a 25% profit of $150

To find:

How much did they charge for each pair?

Solution:

From given, we have,

A store sold 25 pairs of socks, making a 25% profit of $150

$150 = 25% × sales price

150 = 25/100 × sales price

Sales price = (150 × 100) / 25

Sales price = 600

For 25 pairs of socks, the sales price is $600.

For each pair of socks, the sales price is,

= $600/25

= $24

Therefore, the charge of each pair of socks is $24.
