Question

a shop sells 3 types of boots ( football , rugby and hiking) sales are usually in the ratio of 6 : 2 : 3 last month , 24 pairs of boots were sold . How many boots altogether last moth

Answer 1

44

Explanation:

First, let's sum up the ratio.

Sum the ratios = 6 + 2 + 3 = 11

We can make y the total number of boots sold together last month

If 24 pairs of boots were sold, then the equation would be

6/11 × y = 24

Cross multiply

6 × y = 24 × 11

6y = 264

y = 44

Therefore, total number of boots sold altogether last month were 44
