SHOE COLLECTION: Marquise, Bron'Tavious, and JayDarius each have a shoe collection of Nike Air Vapor Max shoes. Marquise has two times as many pairs of shoes than Bron'Tavious and JayDarius have fifteen more pairs of shoes than Bron'Tavious. All together they have ninety-five pairs of shoes. (a) How many pairs of shoes Marquis have? (b) How many pairs of shoes does Bron'Tavious have? (c) How many pairs of shoes does JayDarius have? Provide evidence and how you got your answer.

(a) The number of shoes that Marquise has is 40 pairs of shoes

(b) The number of pairs of shoes that Bron'Tavious has is 20 pairs of shoes

(c) The number of pairs of shoes that JayDarius has is 35 pairs of shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of shoes that Marquise has = 2 × The number of pairs of shoes that Bron'Tavious

The number of pairs of shoes that JayDarius has = The number of pairs of shoes that Bron'Tavious + 15

The total number of pairs of shoes they have all together = 95 pairs of shoes

Let the number of pairs of shoes that Bron'Tavious has = X. Therefore, we have;

The number of shoes that Marquise has = 2 × X

The number of pairs of shoes that JayDarius has = X + 15

The total number of pairs of shoes they have all together = X + X + 15 + 2 × X = 95

X + X + 15 + 2 × X = 95

4 × X + 15 = 95

4 × X = 95 - 15 = 80

X = 80/4 = 20

∴ X = 20

(a) The number of shoes that Marquise has = 2 × X = 2 × 20 = 40

The number of shoes that Marquise has = 40 pairs of shoes

(b) The number of pairs of shoes that Bron'Tavious has = X = 20

The number of pairs of shoes that Bron'Tavious has = 20 pairs of shoes

(c) The number of pairs of shoes that JayDarius has = X + 15 = 20 + 15 = 35

The number of pairs of shoes that JayDarius has = 35 pairs of shoes.
