Answer:

34 pairs of shoes.

Explanation:

Given:

On Monday,a shoe store sold 25 pairs of shoes.

On Tuesday they sold 17 pairs of shoes.

On Wednesday 8 pairs of shoes were returned to the store.

Question asked:

How many pairs of shoes did the shoes store sell without being returned?

Solution:

Total sell of pairs of shoes by the shoes store = 25 pairs + 17 pairs

= 42 pairs of shoes.

Pairs of shoes returned = 8 pairs

Now, actual sell of pair of shoes = Total sell of pairs of shoes - Pairs of shoes returned

Actual sell of pair of shoes = 42 - 8 = 34 Pairs of shoes

Thus, 34 pairs of shoes, the shoes store sold without being returned.
