Edward puts boots on his four cats. Each front leg has a boot with 4 eyelets, and each rear leg has a boot with 6 eyelets. Each of the four cats loses a different boot. Determine the total number of eyelets in the remaining boots.

Answer :

Final answer:

The total number of eyelets in all boots put on four cats is 80. As each cat loses a boot, the number of remaining eyelets differs based on whether the boot lost had 4 or 6 eyelets. Without this information, a precise answer cannot be given.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we would first calculate the total number of eyelets in all boots put on all cats. Since the boots for the front legs have 4 eyelets and for the back legs have 6, with each cat having 4 legs (2 front and 2 back), a single cat has a total of (4*2) + (6*2) = 20 eyelets.

Now, Edward has 4 cats. Hence, the total number of eyelets in all boots put on all cats is 4 * 20 = 80.

As each of the four cats loses a boot, there will be a change in the total number of eyelets. The number of eyelets lost could either be 4 (if a front boot is lost) or 6 (if a back boot is lost). As we don't know which boot was lost, it is impossible to provide a precise value for the remaining eyelets.
