No it’s not like him I’m not it would have Ben 3.4 shirts left

Answer 2

The track team sold 31 short sleeved t-shirts.

Explanation:

If there were 40 t-shirts sold, then you'd have to find how many short sleeved and long sleeved t-shirts were sold to get the amount of money made. Basically, all I did was start with 20:20. I multiplied the cost of each type of shirt by 20, however, the money from selling long sleeved t-shirts is a lot more than the actually amount. So then, I went to 30:10 with short sleeved and then long sleeved. The amount (when added together) was pretty close to the actual amount but it was still a tiny bit higher than the actual. So, I did 31:9 and the amount came out right.
