Answer:
x = number of pairs of sandals sold = 287
Total pair of sneakers and sandals sold = 451 pairs
Step-by-step explanation:
Sneakers = 4
Sandals = 7
Sneakers : sandals = 4 : 7
If the store sells 164 pair of sneakers
Let
x = number of pairs of sandals sold
Sneakers : sandals = 164 : x
Equate both ratios to find x
4 : 7 = 164 : x
4/7 = 164/x
4 * x = 7 * 164
4x = 1,148
x = 1,148/4
x = 287
x = number of pairs of sandals sold = 287
how many pair of sneakers and sandals does the store sell in all ?
Total pair of sneakers and sandals sold = Sneakers + sandals
= 164 + 287
= 451 pairs
Total pair of sneakers and sandals sold = 451 pairs
