Question

Benito is selling T-shirts for $8 each for his school fund-raiser. So far, he has sold 16 T-shirts. How many more does he need to sell to reach his goal of $200 in sales?

Three of these equations solve for the number of T-shirts, t, he still needs to sell to reach $200 in sales. Which equation does NOT?

A. t = 9
B. 8(t + 16) = 200
C. 8t + 128 = 200
D. 8t + 16 = 200

Answer 1

D. When you do the math, the results to everything should be t=9. D is the only outlier. Therefore, D is the answer in this case.
