A factory sells shoes at $60 a pair. For 10 pairs of shoes there is a discount, whereby each pair costs $58. For 20 pairs the cost is $56 a pair and so on. Find the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 100 pairs of shoes and the total price on an order of 60 pairs of shoes.
Answer: $40, $2880 respectively. Thanks to anyone who helps

To find the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 100 pairs, we need to determine the discount level for that quantity.
From the given information, we can observe that the discount level decreases by $2 for each additional 10 pairs. This indicates that every 10 pairs, the price decreases by $2.
To find the discount level for 100 pairs, we can divide 100 by 10:
100 pairs / 10 pairs = 10
This means that the discount level for an order of 100 pairs is 10. Now we can calculate the price for each pair:
$60 (original price) - ($2 × 10) (discount for 10 pairs) = $60 - $20 = $40
Therefore, the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 100 pairs is $40.
To find the total price on an order of 60 pairs of shoes, we need to determine the number of discount levels applicable for that quantity.
Again, we can divide 60 by 10 to find the number of discount levels:
60 pairs / 10 pairs = 6
This means that there are 6 discount levels applicable for an order of 60 pairs. Now we can calculate the total price:
($58 - $2) × 10 (discounted price for 10 pairs) × 6 (number of discount levels) = $56 × 10 × 6 = $3360
Therefore, the total price on an order of 60 pairs of shoes is $3360.
To find the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 100 pairs, we can observe the pattern in the given information.
From the given information, we can see that for every 10 pairs of shoes, the price decreases by $2. This means for every 10 pairs, the cost per pair decreases by $2.
Let's break down the given information into pairs and their respective prices:
- 10 pairs cost $58 per pair
- 20 pairs cost $56 per pair
We can calculate the decrease in price per pair:
$58 - $56 = $2 decrease per pair
Now, let's use this decrease per pair to find the price for 100 pairs:
We have a decrease of $2 per pair for every 10 pairs.
Since there are 100 pairs, we have 10 groups of 10 pairs.
Therefore, the price for each group of 10 pairs decreases by $2.
Starting with $60 per pair, the price for each group of 10 pairs would be:
$60 - $2 = $58 per pair
$58 - $2 = $56 per pair
$56 - $2 = $54 per pair
$54 - $2 = $52 per pair
$52 - $2 = $50 per pair
$50 - $2 = $48 per pair
$48 - $2 = $46 per pair
$46 - $2 = $44 per pair
$44 - $2 = $42 per pair
$42 - $2 = $40 per pair
Therefore, the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 100 pairs is $40.
Now, to find the total price on an order of 60 pairs of shoes, we can simply calculate the price per pair for 60 pairs.
Starting with $60 per pair, the price for each group of 10 pairs would be:
$60 - $2 = $58 per pair
$58 - $2 = $56 per pair
$56 - $2 = $54 per pair
$54 - $2 = $52 per pair
$52 - $2 = $50 per pair
$50 - $2 = $48 per pair
Therefore, the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 60 pairs is $48.
Now, to find the total price, we can multiply the price per pair by the number of pairs:
For 100 pairs, the total price would be:
$40 per pair * 100 pairs = $4000
For 60 pairs, the total price would be:
$48 per pair * 60 pairs = $2880
So, the price of each pair of shoes on an order of 100 pairs is $40, and the total price on an order of 60 pairs is $2880.
