At the dance shoe store, they sell Tap, Point, and Ballet shoes. A pair of point shoes are double the price of ballet shoes. The tap shoes are $10 more than ballet shoes. If the total price of all the shoes is $648, how much is each shoe

a pair of Tap shoes costs $169.50

a pair of Point shoes costs $319.00

a pair of Ballet shoes costs $159.50

Step-by-step explanation:

first tell your teacher, that the problem description is misleading.

as a shoe store has more than one pair per type. so, "all the shoes" would mean all the sites in the store. but that is for sure not meant here.

what your teacher hopefully meant was that the total price of buying one pair of each of the shoe types is $648.

and your teacher was hopefully asking for the price of pairs of shoes, and not actually single shoes.

my solution bases on these assumptions.

so, we got Tap (t), Point (p) and Ballet (b) shoes.

buying one pair each is

t + p + b = 648

now we know some other information.

p = 2×b (Point shoes are double the price of Ballet shoes)

t = b + 10 (Tap $10 more than Ballet)

so, we can replace t and p by expressions of b and get

b + 10 + 2×b + b = 648

4×b + 10 = 648

4×b = 638

b = 159.50

p = 2×159.50 = 319.00

t = 159.50 + 10 = 169.50

why do wages differ across industries

step-by-step explanation :

micro economists are concerned with economics on an industry or individual firm basis.

macro economists are concerned with national and international level
