Answer:
The number of shoes Paisley own is 75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Paisley was organizing her shoe collection.
She counted 24 pairs of sandals.
This represents 32% of the total number of shoes she owns.
Now, to find the number of shoes Paisley own.
Let the number of shoes Paisley own be [tex]x.[/tex]
According to question:
32% of [tex]x[/tex] = 24.
[tex]\frac{32}{100} \times x=24[/tex]
[tex]0.32x=24[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.32 we get:
[tex]x=75.[/tex]
Therefore, the number of shoes Paisley own is 75.
Answer:
The total number of shoes Paisley owns = 75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
24 pairs of sandals represent 32% of the shoes Paisley owns.
To find the total number of shoes Paisley owns.
Solution:
Let the total number of pairs of shoes be = [tex]x[/tex]
Thus, number of sandals can be represented as:
⇒ 32% of [tex]x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.32\times x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.32x[/tex]
Number of sandals = 24
So, we can write the equation as:
⇒ [tex]0.32x=24[/tex]
Solving for [tex]x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.32.
⇒ [tex]\frac{0.32x}{0.32}=\frac{24}{0.32}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=75[/tex]
Thus, the total number of shoes Paisley owns = 75
