Answer 1

54 more printed than plain shirts.

Explanation:

Alright, so... if 1/9 of the shirts are striped and 5/8 of the remaining shirts are printed then 3/8 of the remaining shirts are plain. if 81=3/8 of the remaining shirts then 1/8 of the remaining shirts is 27 shirts. 27x5=135 meaning 135 of the remaning shirts are printed. If 1/8 of the remaining shirts is 27, there are 216 total remaining shirts. This also means that 216 is 8/9 of all of the shirts. Since 27 is 1/8 of the remaining shirts, 216+27=the total amount of shirts. 216+27=243. 243/9=27 meaning that 1/9 of the shirts is 27 (which also means I did that math for no reason, it's 2:00 am, my brain can't funtion rn XD). 135 printed shirts-81 plain shirts=54. There are 54 more printed shirts than plain shirts. Sorry if I am wrong, hope it helps. Have a wonderful day!
