The problem statement is ambiguous but we assume you are asking a question like "how many shirts must be sold in order to come out even?"
Let 'x' represent the number of t-shirts which are sold.
The total cost would be 5000+400+3x and Trendy wants to recoup the money by selling '12x':
12x=5000+400+3x
x=600
So Trendy must sell at least 600 shirts in order to recoup the invested money.
