Answer 1

24 tee shirts

Explanation:

96 divided by 4 is 24

Answer 2

Christine sold 24 t-shirts at festival

Solution:

According to Question, Christine sold the t- shirts at $4 each and she earned a profit of $71 and his total expenses were $25

Let the total number of t- shirts sold by Christine be "x"

Profit = Selling price – Expenses

Selling price is given as:

`\text { Selling price }=\text { total number of shirts sold } * \text { price of each } \mathrm{t}-\text { shirt }`

`\text { selling price }=n * 4`

`\begin{array}{l}{71=(n * 4)-25} \\\\ {71+25=n * 4} \\\\ {96=n * 4} \\\\ {n=24}\end{array}`

So, the number of t- shirts sold by Christine are 24
