Question

Gere has 3 times as many shirts with print patterns as he does shirts in solid colors. He has a total of 16 shirts. How many shirts in print patterns does he have ?

Answer 1

He has 12 print patterns shirt

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of print colored shirts owned by Gere.

From the question, we are told that he has 3 times shirts with print colors as shirts with solid colors.

This means that if the number of solid colored shirt he has is x, then he has 3x print shirts

The addition of both is 16;

hence;

x + 3x = 16

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

Since number of print shirts = 3x; this means there are 3 * 4 = 12 print shy
