Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information we already know, we can form an equation:

Let x be the socks' original price.

[tex](24+x)[/tex] × [tex]0.75=24[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.75

[tex]24+x=32[/tex]

Subtract 24 from both sides

[tex]x=8[/tex]

The socks' original price was $8.
