Page collects fancy shoes and has 80 pairs in her closet. She decides to donate 30% of her collection that she no longer wears. After dropping off her donation, she treats herself and buys 6 more pairs to add to her collection. How many shoes does she have now? Let's answer step by step:
She donates 30% of her 80 pairs of shoes so that’s .30 * 80 = 24 pair of shoes she donates. She had 80 shoes in her collection and donates 24 so that leaves 80 - 24 = 56 pairs of shoes. She now has 56 pairs of shoes and buys 6 more pairs so her collection is now 56 + 6 = 62 pairs of shoes. The answer: 62.
