A shoes store sells three categories of shoes, Athletics, Boots and Dress shoes. The categories are stocked in the ratio of 5 to
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

350 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of Athletics, Boots, and Dress shoes is 5 to 2 to 3, it means that for every 2 pairs of Boots they have 5 pairs of Athletics shoes and 3 pairs of dress shoes.

So, if they have 70 pairs of boots, we can calculate the number of Athletics as:

\frac{5*70}{2} =175

And if they have 70 pairs of boots, the number of dress shoes are:

\frac{3*70}{2}=105

Finally, they have 70 pairs of boots, 175 pairs of athletics, and 105 pairs of dress shoes. It means that they have 350 pairs in total.

70 + 175 + 105 = 350

Answer:

 x = 17/2 = 8.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 2 • (x - 5) -  7  = 0  

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 2x - 17  = 0  

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.1      Solve  :    2x-17 = 0  

Add  17  to both sides of the equation :  

                     2x = 17

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 17/2 = 8.500
