Astore owner sells two pairs of running
shoes for each pair of high tops.
he plans to order 144 pairs of shoes
how many pairs should be high tops?

He will order 72 pairs of high tops

Explanation:

Given the store owner sells two pairs of running shoes for each pair of high tops

For every pair of high tops, he sells 2 pairs of running shoes

1 high top = 2 running shoes

He has planned to order 144 pairs of shoes

Therefore, 144 pair of running shoes = 144/2 = 72 pairs of high tops

Therefore, he will order 72 pairs of high tops

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
