Dots sells T-shirts ($3) and shorts ($7). In April, total sales were $520. People bought 2 times as many T-shirts as shorts. How many T-shirts and shorts did Dots sell?

Answer :

t shirts=80
shorts=40

Let's assume

number of shorts is x

we are given

People bought 2 times as many T-shirts as shorts

so, number of T-shirts is 2*x=2x

Dots sells T-shirts ($3) and shorts ($7)

so, total price of T-shirts [tex] =3*2x [/tex]

so, total price of shorts [tex] =7x [/tex]

now, we are given

total sales were $520

so,

total price of T-shirts+total price of shorts = total sales

we will get equation

[tex] 3*2x+7x=520 [/tex]

now, we can solve for x

[tex] 13x=520 [/tex]

[tex] x=40 [/tex]

so,

number of shorts is 40

number of T-shirts is 2*40=80............Answer
