Question

Kesha spent a total of $9.60 on new shoelaces. Each pair cost $1.20. How many pairs of shoelaces did she buy

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the total is 9.60 then it would be 1.20x = 9.60 where x = pair of shoelaces.

To work out the problem you have to divide 1.20 from both sides.

1.20x/1.20 = x

9.60/1.20 = 8

Therefore, x = 8; Kesha bought 8 pairs of shoelaces.

Answer 2

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation: She bought 8 shoelaces because 9.60 divided by 1.20 is 8
