An empty shipping box weighs 250 grams. The box is then filled with t-shirts. Each tshirts weighs 132.5 grams. The equation W = 250 + 132.5T represents the relationship between the quantities in this solution where W is the weight in grams of the filled box and T the number of shirts in the box. Consider this equation 2900 = 250 + 132.5T. What does the solution to this equation tell us?

Given the next equation

2900 = 250 + 132.5T

its solution is:

2900 - 250 = 132.5T

2650 = 132.5T

2650/132.5 = T

T = 20

Given that W is weigth and T is t-shirts, the solution tell us that a box with 20 t-shirts weights 2900 grams
