    You can think of this problem in basic maths.

    You have 4 pairs of socks sold at 4.19$ and you want to buy only three.

    So in order to know the price of 3 pairs, you should first calculate the price of one pair of socks.

    use cross multiplication to get the price of one pair as follows:

    price of one pair = 4.19 / 4 = 1.0475$

    Therefore,

    price of 3 pairs = 1.0475 x 3 = 3.1325$
