To find the cost of each pair of socks, we need to subtract the change Marsha received from the amount of money she initially gave to the cashier.
Marsha initially gave the cashier $20 and received $5.03 in change. So, the total cost of 3 pairs of socks is $20 - $5.03 = $14.97.
To find the cost of each pair of socks, we need to divide the total cost by the number of pairs. Since Marsha bought 3 pairs of socks, we divide $14.97 by 3:
$14.97 / 3 = $4.99.
Therefore, each pair of socks costs $4.99.
