Question

A school paid $\$$5,670 for 100 pairs of sneakers as part of its sports project. What does a pair of sneakers cost?

• A. 567.0 dollars
• B. 56.70 dollars
• C. 5.670 dollars
• D. 0.5670 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is B 56.70 dollars

Price of 100 pairs of sneakers = 5670 dollars

Price of 1 pair of sneakers = 5670 $÷$ 100

When we divide by 100, we have to move the decimal point, two places to the left.

$⟹$ 5670 $÷$ 100 = 56.70 dollars

Hence, the price of one pair of sneakers = 56.70 dollars
