    Take the total: $79.99

    Subtract the shipping cost: $4.99 ($75)

    Divide that by the number of socks: 75/15

    =$5 per sock with the discount

    Take the discount of 20% and multiply that by the sock price $5 - 5 x. 20 = 1

    Add that to the sock price: 1 + 5 = 6

    $6 per sock without the discount is your answer
