Marcus is selling t-shirts at the State Fair. He brings 200 shirts to sell. He has long-sleeve and short-sleeved T-shirts for sa
le. On the first day of the fair, he sells __ 1 2 of his long-sleeved T-shirts and __ 1 3 of his short-sleeved T-shirts for a total of 80 T-shirts sold. How many of each type of T-shirt did Marcus bring to the fair?
Let x = number of long sleeve shirts
Let y = number of short sleeve shirts
x + y = 200
x/2 + y/3 = 80
Now solve this pair of simultaneous equations to find x and y.
