Question

A shop sells three types of boots (football rugby and hiking). Sales are usually in the ration 6:2:3 Last month 24 pairs of boots were sold. How many boots altogether were sold last month plzzz Help

Answer 1

Total number of boots sold = 48 boots

Explanation:

each pair of boot = 2 boots

total pairs of boots sold last month = 24 boots

Total number of boots sold = 48 boots

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given:

The shop sells boots in the ratio:

football = 6

rugby = 2

hiking = 3

Total ratio number of sales, x = 6 + 2 + 3

= 11

Since 24 pairs of football boots were sold. Ratio of sales of football boots = 6

Therefore fraction of football boots sold that month = ratio of football boots/total ratio of boots, x

= 6/11

Let y be the total number of boots dold in the month.

Fraction of football boots sold × total number of boots sold = 24

6/11 × y = 24

y = 24 × 11/6

= 44 boots.

Total number of pairs of boots sold = 44 pairs of boots
