Question

A store charges $68.95 for a pair of cowboy boots. The store can calculate total cowboy boot sales by using the equation t=68.95b, where t represents total cowboy boot sales and b represents the number of cowboy boots sold.

What will the store's total cowboy boot sales be if they sell 31 pairs of cowboy boots?

Answer 1

The total sales will be $2,137.45

Answer 2

Well to find the total sales you must substitute for the variable in the equation;

t = 68.95b

t = 68.95(31)

t = 2,137.45

So the total of the store's boot sales is;

$2,137.45
