Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The shop sells boots in the ratio:
football = 6
rugby = 2
hiking = 3
Total ratio number of sales, x = 6 + 2 + 3
= 11
Since 24 pairs of football boots were sold. Ratio of sales of football boots = 6
Therefore fraction of football boots sold that month = ratio of football boots/total ratio of boots, x
= 6/11
Let y be the total number of boots dold in the month.
Fraction of football boots sold × total number of boots sold = 24
6/11 × y = 24
y = 24 × 11/6
= 44 boots.
Total number of pairs of boots sold = 44 pairs of boots
