Question

kayla has a tshirt store. She sold three times as many white tshirts as blue tshirts. she sold a total of 48 tshirts. How many white tshirts did kayla sell?

Answer 1

She sold 36 White shirts. Its 48 shirts in total so it would be a ratio of 1/4. 1=Blue shirts and 4=total shirts sold. divide 48 by ¼.soyou get 12 shirts. the blue shirts of course.48-12 =36. Another way to check your work is 12 x 3 = 36.
