Solve and write an equation.

Answer:

  • 29 weeks

---------------------

Initial number of pairs of shoes is 20.

To achieve 50 pairs Mindy needs 30 more pairs.

Each week 2 pairs added but 1 removed. It makes total of 1 pairs addition.

After 28 weeks Mindy will have 20 + 28 = 48 pairs of shoes.

The next week he will purchase 2 more pairs and get 50 pairs in total.

The number of weeks it will take for her closet to have 50 pairs of shoes would be = 30 weeks.

What is purchase price?

A purchase price is the amount of money that was use to obtain a valuable.

The number of shoes owned by Mindy = 20 pairs

The number of shoes Mindy purchases per week = 2 pairs

The number of shoes Mindy destroys = 1 pair.

Therefore, in a week Mindy has an additional 1 pair of shoe.

The number of pairs she needs extra = 50-20 = 30

Since 1 pair of shoe = 1 week, she will require 30 weeks to purchase additional 30 pairs making it up to 50 pairs of shoes she owns.
