Question

Lamar sold t-shirts and hats at a festival. He made a $4 profit for each t-shirt he sold. he also made a profit of $34 from selling hats. If he made a total profit of $160, how many t-shirts did he sell?

Answer 1

18 t-shirts.

Explanation:

Trey made a total profit $106 by selling t-shirts and hats. $34 of that profit was from selling hats, subtract 34 from 106 and you will get 72. So he made a profit of $72 in selling t-shirts. The t-shirts were $4 each, so if you divide 72 by 4 you will get 18. Meaning he sold 18 shirts.
