Styline menswear ordered short-sleeve shirts for $23 each and long-sleeve shirts for $28.50
short-sleeve shirts for $23
long-sleeve shirts for $28.50
Total cost = $9,862.50
Let x be the number of short - sleeve
and y be the number of long - sleeve
Total shirts = 375
x + y = 375
23x + 28.50y = 9862.50
Now we solve for x
x + y = 375 ( subtract x on both sides)
So y = 375 - x
Now plug in 375 -x for y in second equation
23x + 28.50y = 9862.50
23x + 28.50(375 - x ) = 9862.50
23x + 10687.5 - 28.50x = 9862.50
subtract 10687.5 from both sides
23x - 28.50x = -825
-5.5x = -825 (divide -5.5 on both sides)
x = 150
So number of short-sleeve = 150
