Answer:

Explanation:

Ok let start by putting a set amount of hats, let start with 12, 8 times 12 equals 96, 200-96 is 104… I would subtract 8 until you get a number you can divide equally by 10, 104-8=96, 96-8 =88 , 88-8=80, there is 80 dollars left! Ok 80 divide by 10 = 8 so

8 shirts and we’ll we started at 12 and then we add how many more time we subtracted 8 so 15 total,

So, in total 8 shirts and 15 hats!!!
