You must fill in 3/4(9/12) of the rectangle with color. Leaving 1/4(3/12) not shaded in.
Let shirts be x and ties be y
3x+5y=$60 Equation 1 (Equation 1 will be denoted by *)
2x+3y=$39 Equation 2 (Equation 2 will be denoted by !)
*x2 6x + 10y = $120
!x3 6x + 9y = $117
*-! y = 120-117 =3
Ties are $3 each
Substitute this value back into one of the original 2 equations:
3x+5y=$60
3x+(5x3) = 60
3x+15=60
3x=45
x=15
Shirts are $15
27-18= 9
9/18 x100= 50
