Nikhil gets paid a 5 percent commission on every pair of shoes that he sells. he earned $1.00 on the last pair of shoes that he sold. the expression that can be used to represent x, the price of the shoes, is 0.05x = 1 what was the price of the shoes?

The price of the shoes is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Nikhil gets paid a 5 percent commission on every pair of shoes that he sells. He earned $1.00 on the last pair of shoes that he sold.

The expression that can be used to represent x, the price of the shoes, is 0.05x = 1

Now divide both the side by 0.05.

The above equation can be written as:

Thus, the price of the shoes is $20.

hi there!

not proportional because the 42 does not go into 120 and 3 does not go into 8.

correct proportion: $40/1 ticket.

the reason i say this is because 40/1 is simplified and it evenly goes into 120/3.

hope this : )
