Answer:

Number of jeans= 5 jeans

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A clothing store has sold $300 in shirts.

We need to sell $200 more to reach the objective.

To calculate the number of jeans to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Number of jeans= total monetary amount / cost per jean

Number of jeans= 200 / 40

Number of jeans= 5 jeans
