Step-by-step explanation:

Here , we have In August, Cory begins school shopping for his triplet daughters. One day, he  bought 10 pairs of socks for $2.50 each and 3 pairs of shoes for d dollars each.  He spent a total of $135.97. We need to find What does d equal . Let's find out:

One day, he  bought 10 pairs of socks for $2.50 each

Following is the equation for this info:

⇒ [tex]Money = 10(2.50)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Money = 25\[/tex]

3 pairs of shoes for d dollars each

Following is the equation for this info:

⇒ [tex]Money = 3(d)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Money = 3d\[/tex]

He spent a total of $135.97

Following is the equation for this info:

⇒ [tex]Total-Money = 135.97[/tex]

⇒ [tex]25+3d=135.97[/tex]

⇒ [tex]3d=135.97-25[/tex]

⇒ [tex]d=37\[/tex]

Therefore , [tex]d=37\[/tex] .
