Question

Mr Pho has 9 pairs of sneakers. Sneakers make up 60% of his footwear. How many pairs of footwear does he own?

Answer 1

No. of sneakers=9 pairs

It is 60% of his footwear.

Let the no. of pairs of footwear be x.

EQUATION :-

${\pink→60\% \: of \: x = 9}$

${\pink→\frac{60}{100} \times x = 9}$

${\pink→x = \frac{100}{60} \times 9} \\{\pink→{\red{ x = 15}}}$

Mr. Pho has 15 pairs of footwear.
