Felipe sold t-shirts and hats at a festival. He made a $5 profit for each t-shirt he sold. He also made a profit of $40 from selling hats. If he made a total profit of $125, how many t-shirts did he sell?

Answer 1

17 t-shirts sold

Explanation:

If we assume that we don't need t find the number of hats, then we can say that the profit from -tshirts would be $125 minus 40 or $85

Then we can write the following equation of x is the number of t-shirts:

5x = 85

If we solve by diving both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = 85/5

x = 17 t-shirts sold
