Question

The football team needs a combined total of

168 T-shirts for field day. The number of
extra large T-shirts needed is three times the
number of large T-shirts needed. Based on
this information, would it be reasonable for
the football coach to order 40 large T-shirts
and 128 extra large T-shirts?

Answer 1

No.

Explanation:

40 * 3 is 120 not 128, so if he ordered 42 Large T-shirts instead he would have 126 XL shirts and 126 + 42 is 168, the correct number
