Respuesta :

Answer:

3 shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up an equation to solve this question like this:

200=45s+26

174=45s

174/45=s

s=3.867

You can't have a part of a shoe, so you have to round down to get 3 shoes

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the answer to this question you subtract in till you can no longer subtract after subtracting the cost of the bag.

What we do know:

[tex]M=200[/tex]

[tex]B=26[/tex]

[tex]S=45[/tex]

[tex]200-26=174[/tex]

[tex]174-45=129[/tex]

[tex]129-45=84[/tex]

[tex]84-45=39[/tex]

[tex]S=3[/tex]

Hope this helps
