To find the total number of pairs of shoes ordered, we need to calculate the number of pairs of sneakers and sandals separately, then add them together.
-
Calculate the pairs of sneakers:
- Number of cases of sneakers = 12
- Pairs of sneakers per case = 50
- Total pairs of sneakers = 12 cases × 50 pairs/case = 600 pairs
-
Calculate the pairs of sandals:
- Number of cases of sandals = 12
- Pairs of sandals per case = 35
- Total pairs of sandals = 12 cases × 35 pairs/case = 420 pairs
-
Total pairs of shoes:
- Total pairs = Total pairs of sneakers + Total pairs of sandals
- Total pairs = 600 pairs + 420 pairs = 1,020 pairs
Therefore, the shoe store ordered a total of 1,020 pairs of shoes.
