Question

A case of 24 pairs of the same kind of sports shoes costs a little more than $800.Explain whether $28 per pair with tax included is a good estimate.

Answer 1

No because 24 times 28 is 672

Answer 2

Answer:

$28 per pair is not a good estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of each pair with tax.

We have been given that a case of 24 pairs of the same kind of sport shoes cost a little more than $800.

The cost of 24 pairs would be $24x$.

$24x>800$

$\frac{24x}{24}>\frac{800}{24}$

$x>33.33$

Since the cost of each pair is greater than $33.33, therefore, $28 is not a good estimate.
