In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

Visa gift card money = $150

Hoodie price = $45

t-shirts price = $7

x = # t-shirts

x = ?

Step 02:

Visa gift card money = Hoodie price + t-shirts price * x

150 = 45 + 7x

150 - 45 = 7x

105 / 7 = x

15 = x

The answer is:

Sean can buy 15 t-shirts.
