A pair of socks is a two identical material worn on the foot region of the body.
From the information given:
- Tim has = 74 socks whose colors are unknown.
However, he has one extra more pair whose color is white than black.
So, it implies that we are dealing with two colors which are white and black.
If we divide the total pair of socks by two, we have:
= 74/2
= 37 pairs of socks each for white and for black.
But, let's not forget that Tim has an extra pair of socks than black sock which is white.
∴
- Total number of white pair of socks = 37 + 1 = 38 socks
- Total number of black pair of socks = 37 - 1 = 36 socks
Finally, the question asks us to determine the number of individual socks and not pairs.
So, for white:
The individual socks will be = (38 × 2)socks
= 76 socks
For Black
The individual socks will be = (36 × 2)socks
= 72 socks
Therefore, we can conclude that the number of individual socks for white is 76 socks and the number of individual socks for black is 72 socks.
