For this problem you have yo set up two equations.

White shirts = w Yellow shirts = y

1st: w + y = 21
2nd: 9.95w + 11.50y = 235.30

Now we're going to do system of equations using substitution.

If w + y = 21, then y = 21 - w
If y = 21 - w, then you can substitute this in the second equation for y.

9.95w + 11.50(21 - w) = 235.30
9.95w + 241.5 - 11.50w = 235.30
-1.55w + 241.5 = 235.30
-1.55w = -6.2
w = 4, so 4 whites shirt were sold.

Now I'm finding out how many yellow shirts were sold using one of the two equations at the top.

w + y = 21
4 + y = 21
y = 17

So 17 yellow shirts were sold and 4 white shirts were sold.

345*28923+808(2829)

The first step put the problem into 2 parts, the first part is 345*28923

The second part is 808(2829)

The parentheses means to multiply that number that it touches.

Add the final 2 answers.

345*28923 = 9,978,435

808(2829) = 2,285,832
