A shop sold 216 pairs of shoes in a month, which was equal to 60% of the number of pairs in the shop. How many pairs of shoes were in the shop at first??

This is worked the same way as your previous problem.

0.6x = 216

216*1.6 sorry don't have a calc but that will give u the answer

ook thanksss

To find the original number of pairs of shoes in the shop, we can set up an equation. Let's call the unknown number of pairs of shoes in the shop "x":

60% of x = 216

To solve for x, we need to find the whole value that 60% represents. We can do this by dividing 216 by 0.6 (which is the decimal form of 60%):

x = 216 / 0.6

x = 360

Therefore, there were initially 360 pairs of shoes in the shop.
