Answer 2

25 t-shirts and 35 hats were sold

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of hats and the number of t-shirts sold.

Let the number of hats be h and the number of t-shirts be t

The sum of both is 60;

Mathematically;

h + t = 60 •••••••••••(i)

The total revenue from selling h hats at $12 per one is 12 * h = $12h

The total revenue from selling t t-shirts at $18 per one is 18 * t = $18t

So the addition of this gives the total;

12h + 18t = 870 ••••••••(ii)

From i, h = 60-t; substitute this into ii

12(60-t) + 18t = 870

720 -12t + 18t = 870

720 + 6t = 870

6t = 870 -720

6t = 150

t = 150/6

t = 25

From the substitution;

h = 60-t

h = 60-25

h = 35
