A print shop orders 58 T-shirts. They order 16 pink T-shirts, and six times as many blue T-shirts as white T-shirts. How many blue T-shirts did the print shop order ?

The have ordered 36 blue T-shirts.
___________________

How I got it --- So, we take away 16 from 58. You get 42.
________________________________________

So, from then, you know 36 is 6 times as many as 6, right? ( Because 6 x 6 = 36)
___________________________________________________________

So, then, you have ordered 36 blue shirts and 6 white shirts, because 36 + 6 =42.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
