Let's break down all the information we receive from the question.
One pair of shoes= three times as much as a scarf One pair of shoes and one scarf= $32
We need to make an equation where 3s= pair of shoes and s=scarf. We then need to put one pair of shoes + one scarf = 32. 3s+s=32 Now add. 4s=32 You could use 4s=32 (or 32÷4=s).
count all the dots that are greater than 10. you'll get 6 dots. the question is asking for the dots 10 and fewer there is 40 dots in total so you subtract
