Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(find the percent by multiplying the percentage, .45, by the total number of shoes = 18 shoes)
% = 45%
p = 18
w = 40
(i did 100/40 which equals to 2.5 then multiplied 2.5 by the numerator so the numerator and denominator would both be equivelant.)
18/40 = 45/100
(multiply the whole (40) by the decimal value (.45) which is equal to 18)
40 x .45 = 18
(answer)
If Ms. M has 40 pairs of shoes, 18 of those shoes are sneakers.
