shirts did the company sell?

HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

400x800=x solve for x , X =320000

X÷ 6 = 53333.3333333

they sold 53333.333333 T-shirts

Answer 2

Either 133 or 134 T-shirts

Explanation:

If you divide the profits at the end of the month by $ per T-shirt, you get approximately 133.333 T-shirts, which rounds to 133-134 T-shirts. Basically the margin of error for this answer is 1.
