Answer:
The original price of socks was $8.
Step-by-step explanation:
James buys a shirt and a pair of socks on sale for 25% off.
The price of the shirt before the sale was $24 that means after discount the price was:
[tex]24-(0.25\times24)[/tex] = $18
And James paid a total of $24.
That means the price of socks after discount is = [tex]24-18[/tex] = $6
Let the original price of socks be x. And after 25% discount, it was for $6.
So, [tex]x-0.25x=6[/tex]
=> [tex]0.75x=6[/tex]
x = 8.
Hence, the original price of socks was $8.
