Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
From the table, Salesman A sold 56 shoes on Wednesday.
These are split between Adidas and Nike in a ratio of 3:4, which means there are 3 + 4 = 7 equal parts in total.
Dividing the total shoes by the number of parts gives 56 / 7 = 8 shoes per part.
Since Nike represents 4 parts, the number of Nike shoes sold is 4 * 8 = 32.
