Shira’s Shoes sold 875,000 pairs of sandals in June, which was 70% of the total number of shoes sold. How many shoes did the company sell in June? Analyze Emily’s calculations. What error did she make? StartFraction part Over whole EndFraction = StartFraction 70 times 8,750 Over 100 times 8,750 EndFraction = StartFraction 612,500 Over 875,000 EndFraction

emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole. 875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio. 70 x 12,500 is 875,000. so the answer is 100 x 12,500 which is 1,250,000.
