Answer:

77

Explanation:

$2790 is shares equally between 3 committees. each committee would get - $2790 / 3 = $930

If a shirt costs $12 and the Sports Committee gets $930, the committee would get $930 / $12 = 77.5

The committee cannot get half a shirt, so the greatest number of shirt that can be purchased is 77
