Question 707997: I tend to have a hard time with word problems. This problem seems easy but I need a bit of help with step by step solving for later problems.
Shoes cost $20 per pair and boots cost $60 per pair. Arlene and Jerry spent $8000 and bought 3 times as many boots as shoes. How many pairs of each did they buy?
Thanks for the help Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! = number of pairs of shoes bought = number of pairs of boots bought
$= amount spent on shoes

They bought pairs of shoes and pairs of boots.
