Question

James bought 3 pairs of shoes for $ 175.5. How much would he need to pay for 6 pairs of shoes?

Answer 1

Explanation:

let's use ratio

3/ 175.5. as 6/X

cross multiply and solve for X

`(3 )/(175.5) = (6)/(x)`

3X = 1053......divine both sides by 3 to solve for X

X = 351.

James would pay $351 for 6 pairs of shoes.

or you should have just multiply 175.5 by 2 because 6 pairs us the double of 3.

Answer 2

`175.50 * 2 = 351.00`

He needs to pay $351.00 for 6 pairs of shoes.
