    1250000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let number of the total number of shoes sold be 'y'

    y * (70/100) = 875000

    70y = 875000*100

    y = (875000*100) / 70

    y = 1250000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole. 875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio. 70 x 12,500 is 875,000. So the answer is 100 x 12,500 which is 1,250,000.
