Answer:

There are total 96 shirts out of which 72 are black and 12 are white and 12 are red.

Explanation:

Let the total number of shirts be x.

Then 3/4= 0.75 shirts are black

50% or 50/100 =0.5 of 1/4 ( 1-3/4) remaining are white

and 12 are red

x= 0.75x+0.125x+12

x= 0.875x+ 12

x-0.875x= 12

0.125x= 12

x= 12/0.125

x= 96

There are total 96 shirts out of which 3/4 are black

96*0.75= 72 are black and

96*0.25= 24 are left behind out of which 50% are white.

12 are white and 12 are red.
