Answer 2

$28 per pair is not a good estimate of the price.

Explanation:

We are given that

Number of pairs of sport shoes=24

Total cost of 24 pairs of sport shoes little more than $800.

We have to find and explain $28 per pair with tax included is a good estimate of the price.

Let x be the cost of each pair of sport shoes.

According to question

`24x > 800`

Divide by 24 on both sides then, we get

`(24x)/(24) >(800)/(24)`

`x >33.33`

The cost of each pair is greater than $33.33.

But , we are given that cost of each pair is $28.

Therefore, $28 per pair with tax included is not a good estimate of the price.
