    Cost: $13,680.82

    Number of pairs of skates: 1057.25 / 1057-1058

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the cost of the wheels, we need to multiply the cost of a set, $6.47, by the number of wheels needed, 8458, for a quotient of 54723.26. We then divide this quotient by 4, the number of wheels in each set, to get the cost of $13,680.82.

    Next, to find the number of pairs that Adam can put wheels on, we divide 8458, the number of wheels Adam has, by 8, the number of wheels Adam puts on each pair of skates. This leaves us with a quotient of 1057.25 pairs. The two whole numbers this number is between are 1057 and 1058.
