Question:A certain store sells only black shoes and brown shoes. In a certain week, the store sold x black shoes and y brown shoes. If 2/3 of all shoes sold that week were black, which of the following expressions represents the value of y, in terms of x?
Solution: 2/3 of all shoes sold were black
=> Out of a total of 3 shoes, 2 were black , and hence, 1 was brown
Since the store sold x black shoes and y brown shoes, we have:
x equivalent to 2 and y equivalent to 1
=> y = x/2
