Question

Lee is selling spirit wear for a

fundraiser. Hats cost $8 and shirts cost $12. Lee sold $272 worth of spirit wear in the first month. If Lee sold a total of
28 items, how many hats did Lee sell?

Please write an equation as well.

Answer 1

16 hats

Explanation:

8h+12s=272

h+s=28

isolate s to get s=28-h

substitute that in for s and solve for h

you will get h=16 meaning 16 hats were sold
