Answer:

a)$7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Let X represents socks

Given,

Selling price (SP) of 12x=$85.50

Discount precent (d%)=5%

So,

SP=(100-d)% of MP. [this formula really exist believe it or not]

85.50= (100-5)/100 ×MP

or, 85.50×100 =95×MP

or, 8550/95=MP

So,MP=$90

Now At last ,

cost of 1 shocks before discount is 90/12

which is $7.50 ans√
