Problema Solution

Dots sells a total of 250 T-shirts ($2) and shorts ($4). In April, total sales were $600. How many T-shirts and shorts did Dots sell? Let S=Shorts

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'S' represent the number of shorts sold, then '250-S' represents the number of T-shirts sold


600 = 2(250-S) + 4S

600 = 500 - 2S + 4S

2S = 100

S=100/2 = 50


250-50 = 200


Dots sold 200 T-shirts and 50 shorts
