Question

A store manager or tshirts so that 15 out of every 35 are a medium. How many medium Tshirts would you expect to find when there are 126 T-shirt's on a rack?

Answer 1

Given:

Out of every 30 t-shirts, 15 are medium.

Let's find the number of medium t-shirts you expect to find when there are 126 t-shirts on a rack.

We have:

35 t-shirts = 15 medium

126 t-shirts = x medium

Now, let's solve for x.

Apply the proportioanlity equation:

`(35)/(15)=(126)/(x)`

Cross multiply:

`\begin{gathered} 35x=126*15 \\ \\ 35x=1890 \end{gathered}`

DIvide both sides by 35:

`\begin{gathered} (35c)/(35)=(1890)/(35) \\ \\ x=54 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, there will be 54 medium t-shirts when there are 126 t-shirts.

ANSWER:

54
