Sandra bought 30 T-shirts at the clothing store. 20% of the T-shirts were blue and half of the T-shirts were black. How many of the T-shirts were neither black nor blue?

So you have 20% of blue and 50% of black.
So you have 70% in total that are both blue and black.
100%- 70%= 30%
So that means 30% were neither blue or black.
Do a proportion
30/100= x/30
30 x 30= 900
900 divided by 100= 9
Answer is 9 shirts are neither blue or black
