Dots sells a total of 265 T-shirts ($2) and shorts ($3). In April, total sales were $637

Question

How many T-shirts and shorts did Dots sell? Hint: Let S = Shorts.

Answer 1

T+S = 265   -->   S = 265 - T

 

2T + 3S = 637

 

 

2T + 3(265-T) = 637

2T + 795 -3T = 637

 

-T = 637 - 795

 

-T = -158

 

T=158

 

158 T-Shirts

 

107 shorts
