A store sold 55 pairs of shoes for 85.60 each. Later all the proceeds were spent buying 100 scarves. How much does a scaf cost?

Answer 1

4.28 $

Explanation:

Given that a store sold 55 pairs of shoes for 85.60 each.

Sale proceeds = 55(85.60) = 428 dollars.

Later on 100 scafs were purchased. For that the price was 428 dollars.

The proceeds of 428 dollars were spent buying 100 scarves.

i.e. price of 100 scarves = 428 dollars

Hence price of 1 scarve = 428/100 = 4.28 $

Price of 1 scarve is 4.28 dollars is the answer
