A shop sells three types of boots football rugby and hiking cells are usually in the ratio of 6:2:3 last month 24 pairs of football boots were sold how many boots altogether were sold last month

First we define the variables:

x = football boots

y = rugby boots

z = hiking boots

Now we write the equations:

(x / y) = 6/2

(y / z) = 2/3

For x = 24 we have:

(24 / y) = 6/2

(24 / y) = 3

y = 24/3

y = 8

On the other hand:

(y / z) = 2/3

(8 / z) = 2/3

(8) * (3/2) = z

z = 12

Then, the sum is:

x + y + z = 24 + 8 + 12 = 44

Answer:

44 boots were sold last month
