\
.We can set up a system of equations based on this information:For a typical month:
For the month of April, where the number of pairs of sandals is doubled:
Now, let's solve this system of equations step by step.First, simplify the second equation:
Now we have two equations:
To eliminate
, we can multiply the first equation by 2:
Now subtract the second equation from this new equation:
Now that we have the value of
, we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find
. Let's use the first equation:
Therefore, during a typical month, the company makes:Number of sandals:
Number of running shoes:
