Question

Henry bought bags of socks. Each bag contained both red and blue socks. He purchased 10 blue
socks and 5 red socks in all. If each bag has 2 blue socks in it, how many red socks are in each
bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

There was 1 red sock per bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every bag, there are 2 blue socks, and since he got ten, that means there had to have been 5 bags total. Take the amount of bags and divide it by the total number of red socks.

5/5=1 red sock
