Question

Dots sells T-shirts ($5) and shorts ($8). In April, total sales were $560. People bought 4 times as many T-shirts as shorts.

Answer 1

Number of T-shirts sold = 80 and number of shorts sold = 20

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. If we have to calculate the number of shirts and T-shirts sold by Dots then we will calculate this question as below.

Let the number of shorts sold = s

And the number of T-shirts sold = T

Dots sells T-shirts at $5 and shots at $8 in April.

Equation for this situation will be,

5T + 8s = 560 -----(1)

Number of T-shirts sold are 4 times the shorts,

T = 4s ----- (2)

By substituting the value of T from equation (2) in equation (1),

5(4s) + 8s = 560

20s + 8s = 560

28s = 560

s = 20

From equation (2),

T = 4(20)

T = 80

Number of T-shirts sold = 80 and number of shorts sold = 20
