Question

A clothing store features Shirts and Pants in the ratio of 3:6. There are 42 more Shirts than pairs of pants. How many articles of clothing are in the store?

Answer 1

126

Explanation:

The ratio of shirts to pants = 3:6. Which also equals 1:2.

Let the pairs of pants = t

Since there are 42 more shirts than pair of pants, shirts = t + 42

Number of pairs of pants is t.

Number of shirts = (t + 42)

The number of the pairs of pants is 42.

The number of shirts is 84.

Total number of clothings is 126.
