Six pairs of shoes cost as much as 1 coat, 2 pairs of jeans cost as much as 3 pairs of shoes, and 4 pairs of socks cost as much as one pair of jeans. How many coats could I exchange for 64 pairs of socks?

4 coats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a pair of shoe be x.

Thus, 6 pairs would cost; 6x

Thus,1 coat will cost 6x.

2 pairs of jeans cost as much as 3 pairs of shoes.

Thus, 2 pairs of jeans will cost 3x.

4 pairs of socks cost as much as one pair of jeans.

If 2 pairs of jeans cost 3x

Then 1 pair will cost 3x/2 = 1.5x

Thus, 4 pairs of socks will cost 1.5x.

Thus, 1 pair of socks will cost 1.5x/4

Then, 64 pairs of socks will cost;

64 × 1.5x/4 = 24x

Earlier, we saw that 1 coat costs 6x.

Thus means that;

Number of coats to exchange for 64 pairs of socks = 24x/6x = 4 coats
