Question

If a dealer buys 24 pair of shoes for $300 dollars how much does he pay for a shipment of 36 pairs of shoes at the same rate

Answer 1

$300÷24 pairs of shoes is= $12.50

$12.50 = one pair of shoes

so now $12.50 × 36 = $450

Answer 2

450, first divide 300 by 24, which gives you 12.5, so you then multiply 36 by 12.5 which gives you 450, I hope that helps, I'm not sure that I explained it well.
