Answer 1

`\text{We need to find how many shirts the store owner can buy}\\\\\text{We know that they have \$2578 to spend}\\\\\text{We also know that each shirt costs \$17}\\\\\text{Divide 2578 by 17 to get your answer}\\\\2578/17=151.647\\\\\text{Since you can't buy 0.647 of a shirt, lets just round down}\\\\\text{This means that the store owner can buy 151 shirts}\\\\\boxed{\text{151 shirts}}`

Answer 2

151 shirts

Explanation:

2,578/17=151.647059

however, you can't have a portion of a shirt, so it is 151.
