Question 24667: Please help me solve this problem:
A shoe store sells 4 pairs of back shoes for every 7 pairs of brown shoes. There were 4,900 pairs of brown shoes last year. How many pairs of black shoes were sold?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many sets of "7 brown shoes" were sold last year?
Divide 4900 by 7 and get 700.
For each of these 700 pairs of "7 brown shoes", 4 black
shoes were sold. So there were 4(700)= 2800 black shoes
sold.
