Answer:
2 pair shorts and for t-shirts and sandals possible cases are
1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or
4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or
7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total money spent by Heidi on the clothing items is $60.
Now , she bought 2 pairs of short for $10 each , so, the money spent on shorts will be $20.
Thus money for other stuffs should be $40.
Let she bought x t-shirts for $4 each , thus money spent on t-shirts will be 4x dollars.
Also let she bought y sandals for $12 each , so money spent on sandals will be 12y dollars .
Thus , 4x + 12y = 40. (since 40 dollars were remaining for other clothing
items)
So, x + 3y = 10.
So, the possible cases are 1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or
4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or
7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.
