Question

Nathan needs to sell at least 75 t shirts to get a bonus he already has sold 15 red tye dye shirts and 23 solid blue ones how many more t shirts t does he need to sell to get a bonus

Answer 1

Hi @Hamidaafrinheart,

The answer would be
`\boxed {37 \text { T-Shirts}}`

In this problem we are being asked to determine the t shirts that Nathan needs to sell to get a bonus.

To solve this we simply need to add and subtract.

`23+15=38`

Now, subtract this number from 75 to determine the amount of T-Shirts that still need to be sold.

`75-38=37`

Nathan needs to sell 37 T-Shirts to get a bonus.

`\boxed {37 \text { T-Shirts}}`

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Answer 2

Red shirts and blue shirts equally count to his bonus, so he has 15 + 23 = 38 shirts sold at this moment. He needs to sell 75 shirts for the bonus. We subtract our goal from what he have; 75 - 38 = 37.

The strategy here: subtract the goal (75 shirts) from what you did to get to the goal (15 shirts and 23 shirts).

Nathan needs to sell 37 more shirts for the bonus. Hope this helps.
