Question

Three pairs of shoes cost $108. If each pair costs the same, how much does each one cost?

A.$32

B.$34

C.$36

D.$38

Answer 1

36

108 divided by 3 is 36

Answer 2

C: 36

Explanation:

There are 3 pairs of shoes. They all cost the same. Since these shoes add up to 108 dollars, they basically multiply by three to get to 108. (3x=108) If you want to figure out the cost of one shoe you just have to reverse the process by using division. So just do simple division by dividing 108 by three (108/3=x) and there is your answer, 36.
