B)88
C)176
D)245

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. 88 pairs of blue non-pleated slacks sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gray pleated slacks sold = x

the number of blue pleated slacks sold = 5x

and also let the number of blue non-pleated slacks sold = y

the number of gray non-pleated slacks sold = 2y

It is given that blue slacks are sold = 333 pairs

5x + 2y = 333 ------- (1)

and gray slacks are sold = 225 pairs

x + 2y = 225 ----------(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 5 to get

5x + 10y = 1125 -------(3)

Now subtract equation (1) from equation (3)

9y = 792

y = 792 ÷ 9 = 88

y = 88

88 pairs of blue non-pleated slacks are sold.

Option B. 88
