can be bought with the sum?​

Answer 1

• 12 pieces of T-shirts can be bought with the sum.

Explanation:

Given that:

• The rate is Rs 210 per piece, a certain sum of money can buy 16 pieces of T-shirts.

To Find:

• If the rate increases to Rs. 280 per piece, how many pieces of T-shirts can be bought with the sum?

Let us assume:

• x pieces of T-shirts can be bought with the sum.

Finding the number of T-shirts bought:

According to the question.

Rate × Pieces of T-shirts = Rate × Pieces of T-shirts

⟶ 210 × 16 = 280 × x

⟶ 3360 = 280x

⟶ x = 3360/28

⟶ x = 12

Hence,

• If the rate increases to Rs. 280 per piece, 12 pieces of T-shirts can be bought with the sum.
