Answer: $5
Step-by-step explanation:
We should note that since there was a 30% off sale, it means that he paid for 70% (100% - 30%) of the sales price.
Therefore, let the price of the socks be represented as x.
70% of x = 14
70/100 × x = 14
0.7 × x = 14
0.7x = 14
x = 14 / 0.7
x = 20
Therefore, the price of the socks was $20. Since there are 4 pairs, each pair will be:
= $20 / 4
= $5
