Question

At Peyton's store, she sells blue shoes for $39.00 a pair and red shoes for $34.30 a pair. Peyton has already sold four pairs of blue shoes to customers. If Peyton only sells red shoes for the rest of the day, how many pairs of red shoes need to be sold to meet the sales goal of $1,200? A. 40 B. 30 C. 39 D. 31

Answer 1

B. 30

$39(4) + $34.30 = $1200

$156 + 34.30 = $190.30

$1200 - $190.30 = $1009.70

$1009.70 / $34.30 = 29.437

she will need to sell 30 red shoes to meet the sales goal.
