Answer: 64 short-sleeved shirts were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation: (x = short-sleeved shirts. y = long-sleeved shirts.)  

x + y = 100

10x + 12y = 1072

—12(x + y = 100) >>> -12x - 12y = -1200                                                                                                           10x + 12y = 1072 (add the equations and cancel out the 12y)

-2x/-2 (-2 cancels out) = -128/-2   (divide both by -2)

<u>x = 64 shirts purchased for $10 each.   (Hope this helped!)</u>

(vvvThis next part doesn’t answer the question, but I should finish the equation.)

(Plug in 64 for x)>>> 64 + y = 100 (then, subtract 64 from both sides) >>> 64 - 64 = 0 (they cancel out) and 100 - 64 = 36

<u>y = 36 shirts purchased for $12 each.</u>

I really hope this helped! :)

Decrease 248 by 30%
Snowcat [4.5K]
Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.

So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.

All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4

So subtract 74.4 and get
