Answer:

  40 shops

Step-by-step explanation:

To combine the ratios, we must have the same number of ratio units for restaurants. We can get that by multiplying the first ratio by 4.

  S : R = 1 : 2  . . . multiplying by 4 gives . . . 4 : 8

and

  R : P = 8 : 3

So, the extended ratio can be written ...

  S : R : P = 4 : 8 : 3

Multiplying this by 10 gives 30 for the number of pubs:

  S : R : P = 40 : 80 : 30

The number of shops in the city is 40.
