To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of equations based on the given information.Let's define:-
as the number of sandals manufactured in March.-
as the number of running shoes manufactured in March.From the given information, we can write the following equations:1. For March:
2. For April: - The number of sandals is doubled, so the number of sandals in April is
. - The number of running shoes remains the same, so it is still
. - The total cost for April is:
Simplify the equation for April:
Now we have the system of equations:1.
2.
To eliminate
, we subtract the first equation from the second equation:
So, the number of sandals manufactured in March is 200. Since the number of sandals in April is doubled:
Therefore, the number of sandals manufactured in April is 400.The correct answer is:C. 400
