The sophomore class needs a combined total of 216 medium and large t-shirts for field day. The number of medium t-shirts needed
is three times the number of large t-shirts needed. Based on this information, would it be reasonable for the sophomore class to order 72 large t-shirts and 144 medium t-shirts? A. No, because the number of medium t-shirts is not 3 times the number of large t-shirts B. No, because the number of large t-shirts is not 3 times the number of medium t-shirts C. Yes, because the total number of t-shirts is 216 D. Yes, because the number of large t-shirts is of the total number of t-shirts
Like you can see in the picture, I like to set up a proportion, so 81 over X and 45 over 100. Then, you can cross multiply, so 81 x 100 = 8100 and then divide, 8100 ÷ 45 = 180, your answer!
