Question

Rafael sold t-shirts and hats at a festival. He made a $3 profit for each t-shirt he sold. He also made a profit $45 from selling hats. If he made a total profit of $93, how many t-shirts did he sell?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

The total profit is $93

He made a $45 profit selling hats

The question says he only sold t-shirts and hats

Since we are solving for the amount of t-shirts sold we subtract $45 from $93 and get $48 dollars earned from t-shirts

He makes $3 per t-shirt

We divide the amount per t-shirt by the total t-shirt money earned

This looks like: 48/3

We get 16 as our answer
