is a pair of socks? How much did each boy spend?
Jeans ---- 24.74
let pair of socks cost x
cost of 6 pairs of socks = 6x
Josh spent 24.74 + 6x
---
Allen pays
31.20+ 3x
The amounts are equal
24.74+6x= 31.20 + 3x
6x-3x= 31.20-24.74
3x=6.46
/3
x= $2.15 cost of pair of socks
plug the value of x in both equations to find how much each spent
