Answer:

Number of men's shoes = x = 9 shoes

Number of women's shoes = y = 27 shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

A shoe store pays 1980$ a month for rent. The average profit on each pair of men's shoes is $25, and the average profit on each pair of wemons shoes is $65. .How many pairs of shoes of each type of shoe must the store sell each month to pay the rent?

Number of men's shoes = x

Number of women's shoes = y

The system of equations is given as:

$25 × x + $65 × y = $1980

25x + 36y = $1980..... Equation 1

They usually sell 3times as many pairs of wemons shoes as men's

y = 3x

25x + 65y = $1980..... Equation 1

25x + 65(3x) = 1980

25x + 195x = 1980

220x = 1980

x = 1980/220

x = 9 shoes

y = 3x

y = 3(9)

y = 27 shoes

Number of men's shoes = x = 9 shoes

Number of women's shoes = y = 27 shoes
