Final Answer:
Out of the 60 donated clothing items, 45% were shirts (27 items), and 0.45 were jeans (27 items). Subtracting these from the total, the remaining items were dresses, totaling 27 dresses. The calculation ensures that all items are accounted for, meeting the question's requirements accurately.
thus the correct option is( c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break down the information given in the question. Firstly, 45% of the items were shirts, which means there were \(60 \times 0.45 = 27\) shirts in the package. Next, 0.45 of the items were jeans. Since there are 60 items in total, the number of jeans would be \(60 \times 0.45 = 27\). Now, subtracting the shirts and jeans from the total items gives us the number of dresses: \(60 - 27 - 27 = 6\). Therefore, there were 6 dresses in the package.
In a more detailed breakdown, the calculation for shirts is \(60 \times 0.45 = 27\), and for jeans, it is \(60 \times 0.45 = 27\). Adding these together (\(27 + 27 = 54\)) and subtracting from the total items (\(60 - 54 = 6\)) gives us the number of dresses. Therefore, the final answer is that there were 27 shirts, 27 jeans, and 6 dresses in the package, totaling 60 items.
In summary, by using the given percentages and the total number of items, we can accurately calculate the number of dresses in the package, which is 6. The solution involves simple arithmetic operations, ensuring a clear understanding of how each clothing item contributes to the total.
therefore correct option is (c)
