Answer 1

8,900 more sneakers sold than sandals and boots combined

Explanation:

First we are going to round each number to the nearest hundredth meaning that about 5,400 pairs of boots were sold, about 7,700 pairs of sandals were sold, and about 22,000 pairs of sneakers were sold. Next we have to combine the amount of sandals and boots sold (5,400 + 7,700) which equals 13,100. Now we have to subtract that from 22,000 (so 22,000 - 13,100) which equals 8,900 the amount of more sneakers sold than sandals and boots combined.
