At a shoe store there are 40 pairs of shoes. 8 pairs are yeezys. 15 pairs of all shoes have velcro and 2 yeezys have velcro. How many pairs of shoes are not yeezys and do not have velcro

17

Step-by-step explanation:

add the number of shoes with velcro, not including the 2 yeezys because their already included with the total number of yeezys, to the number of yeezys

15 + 8 = 23

subtract 23 from 40

40 - 23 = 17

17 of the shoes aren't yeezys and do not have velcro

40 - 15 - 2 = 23 we simply do not count the yezzys until they mention velcro and just takeaway 15 pairs of shoes and 2 velcro, yezzy that have velcro

are 2 so it must be 23.
