Sure, let's break down the steps to determine the cost per pair of socks given that a package containing 6 pairs costs [tex]$12.99.
1. Total Cost of Socks:
The total cost of the package containing 6 pairs of socks is $[/tex]12.99.
2. Number of Pairs of Socks:
There are 6 pairs of socks in the package.
3. Cost Per Pair Calculation:
To find the cost per single pair of socks, we need to divide the total cost of the package by the number of pairs included in it.
So, the calculation we need to perform is:
[tex]\[
\text{Cost per pair} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Pairs}}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values we have:
[tex]\[
\text{Cost per pair} = \frac{12.99}{6}
\][/tex]
4. Result:
After performing this division, we get the cost per pair of socks, which is:
[tex]\[
\text{Cost per pair} = 2.165
\][/tex]
Therefore, the cost for one pair of socks is $2.165.
