Nick had a sum of money.
2/7 of it was spend on a shirt and 2 pairs of shoes.
Each shirt cost $21 and 1/3 as much as each pair of shoes.
Then, he spent 3/7 of the remaining amunt of mnoey on computer accessories.
Finally, he had only $840 left.
How much did he pay for each pair of shoes?
Q2)
In a school, 0.6 of the girls and 0.4 of the boys take part in CCAs. There is an equal number of boys and girls who do not take part in CCAs.

Q2
girls not taking part=0.4
boys not taking part=0.6
0.4 girls+0.6 boys=480 pupils
0.4 girls=240 pupils
0.6 boys = 240 pupils
total boys=400
total girls=600
total pupils= 1000

"Each shirt cost $21 and 1/3 as much as each pair of shoes."
Is there something wrong with this sentence? Just by this sentence alone, we can deduce that a pair of shoes is $63.
