Question

Emily is selling t-shirts for $7 each. If she earns a total of $126, how many t-shirts did she sell? Write and solve an equation to solve this problem. (Hint. You need to identify a variable AND embed it in the equation.)

Answer 1

7x = 126 is the equation

She sold 18 t-shirts.

Explanation:

Since she sold t-shirts for 7 each, we need to find how many T-shirts she sold. 126 dollars is how much she made, so we need to divide.

126/7 = 18.

The equation would be:

7x = 126.
