Answer:
4 coats
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of a pair of shoe be x.
Thus, 6 pairs would cost; 6x
Thus,1 coat will cost 6x.
2 pairs of jeans cost as much as 3 pairs of shoes.
Thus, 2 pairs of jeans will cost 3x.
4 pairs of socks cost as much as one pair of jeans.
If 2 pairs of jeans cost 3x
Then 1 pair will cost 3x/2 = 1.5x
Thus, 4 pairs of socks will cost 1.5x.
Thus, 1 pair of socks will cost 1.5x/4
Then, 64 pairs of socks will cost;
64 × 1.5x/4 = 24x
Earlier, we saw that 1 coat costs 6x.
Thus means that;
Number of coats to exchange for 64 pairs of socks = 24x/6x = 4 coats
