Question 983659: Hello, I am having trouble understanding and solving this problem:
Suppose you want to buy one pair of pants and several pairs of socks. The pants cost $24.95, and the socks are $5.95 per pair. How many pairs of socks can you buy if you have $50.00 to spend?
-Thank you.

Divide $25.05 by $5.95 and round down. Or, as you will probably need to be able to do someday when you are standing in a store buying clothing, say to yourself, "Pants are $25, and that leaves me $25, and 6 goes into 25 4 and a little more, but I can't buy 'a little more than 4' of a pair of socks, so 4 is what I can get."
