Let us consider that the man sold x screened shirts.

Accordingly, he sold 3 times as many tie-dyed t shirts as silk screened shirts and he sold 156 shirts together.

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} 3x+x=156 \\ 4x=156 \\ x=39 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number of silk screened shirts sold is 39.

So, the number of tie dyed shirts is


39*3=117

Hence, The number of tie-dyed shirts is 117.
