Question

Amit bought socks for a total of $\mathrm{Rs}180$. How many pairs of socks did he buy? If the price of each pair is $\mathrm{Rs}15$.

Answer 1

Finding the pair of socks Amit can buy

Given, the total amount $=\mathrm{Rs}180$

Price of each pair $=$ $\mathrm{Rs}15$

According to the question,

Number of pairs of socks he can buy $=\frac{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{amount}}{\mathrm{Price}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{pair}}$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{180}{15} \\ =12 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, Amit can buy $12$ pairs of socks.
