a shop sells three types of boots [football, rugby, hiking]
sales are usually in the ratio 6:2:3

last month 24 pairs of football boots were sold
how many were sold all together?

Answer 1

Answer:

THE ANSWER IS 44

Step-by-step explanation:

RATIO OF  football, rugby and hiking is 6:2:3

so, let x ,   6x , 2x, 3x

last month 24 pair of football = 6x

===> 6x = 24

==> x = 4  

rugby = 2x

==> 2(4) ==> 8

hiking = 3x

==> 3(4)

==> 12

so, altogether were sold last month = 12+8+24

==> 44
