Answer 2

The answer is C) x+y = 233, 14x + 20y = 3748

Explanation:

x(number of t-shirts sold) + y(number of sweatshirts sold) = 233 (total number of pieces of clothing sold)

14x (14 is the cost of each t-shirt and since x = number of t-shirts sold then it is 14x or 14 multiplied by number of t-shirts sold) + 20y (20 is the cost of each sweatshirt and since y = number of sweatshirts sold then it is 20y or 20 multiplied by number of sweatshirts sold) = 3748 (total of money raised)
