Answer:

91962 shirts arrived in good condition.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Armando owns a giant shirt factory. Yesterday, he shipped 114 boxes containing 234 shirts each. Today, he shipped 3 times as many shirts but 21 of the boxes of shirts were lost or damaged. How many total shirts,between those shipped yesterday and today, arrived in good condition?

Armondo shipped 114 boxes containing 234 shirts in each box yesterday.

So total number of shirts shipped = Number of boxes × Number of shirts in each box

= 114×234

= 26676

Today Amondo shipped 3 times as many shirts, so number of shirts in each box = 234×3 = 702

Since 21 boxes of the shirts were lost or damaged so number of boxes arrived in good condition = 114 - 21 = 93

Now total shirts arrived in good condition = 93×702 = 65286

Total number of shirts shipped yesterday and today arrived in good condition = 26676 + 65286

= 91962 shirts

Therefore, 91962 shirts arrived in good condition.
