Question

Last week at a​ festival, a man sold 4 times as many​ tie-dyed T-shirts as​ silk-screened shirts. He sold 240 shirts altogether. How many​ tie-dyed shirts did he​ sell?

Answer 1

192 tie-dyed t-shirts

Explanation:

let x be the no.of tie-dyed t-shirts sold.

let y be the no.of silk-screened t-shirts sold.

4y=tie-dyed t-shirts

total t-shirts sold=y+x=240

#substitute x with 46

4y+y=240

5y=240

y=240÷5

y=48

x when y is 48

x+y=240

x+48=240

x=240-48

x=192
