Paula owns a shoe store in Los Angeles. Whenever she orders a new style of shoe, she orders 5 pairs of that style in each of the most popular sizes. The most popular sizes are 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. She also orders 3 pairs in size 5 and 3 pairs in size 11.

For every new style, how many pairs of shoes does she need to order in total?

Answer 1

She orders 5 pair in 5 different sizes:

5 x 5 = 25 pair

She orders 3 pair in 3 different sizes:

3 x 3 = 9 pair

Total pairs = 25 + 9 = 34 pair.
