Question

4. At Sports Shoe Warehouse, the cost of 9 pairs of baseball shoes is $855 plus $92 for each additional pair.

From Winning Team Shoes, the cost of 9 pairs of baseball shoes is $810 plus an additional 7% for each
additional pair. For how many total pairs of baseball shoes does each vendor cost about the same?

Answer 1

10.46

Explanation:

Let the Number of additional pair = x

Ware house A :

855 + 92x - - - (1)

Warehouse B:

Initial cost per pair before 9

= 810 / 9 = $90

Additional 7% for pairs after 9

1.07 * 90 = 96.3

810 + 96.3x - - - (2)

810 + 96.3x = 855+ 92x

96.3x - 92x = 855 - 810

4.3x = 45

x = 45 / 4.3

x = 10.46

Additional pair be 10.46
