Question

A shoe store was having a back to school sale where you could buy 6 pairs of shoes for $52.62. If a large family decided to buy 3 pairs of shoes, how much would it cost them?

Answer 1

$26.31

Explanation:

3 ×
`(52.62)/(6)`

3 ×
`(5262)/(600)`

3 ×
`(877)/(100)`

`(3 *877)/(100)`

`(2631)/(100)`

= 26.31

Answer 2

Answer: The family would buy the three pairs of shoes for $26.31 because you have to divide $52.62 in half since they bought half the amount of pairs of shoes that are given in the sale.
