Question

The basketball team sold t shirts and hats as a fundraiser. They sold a total of 23 items and made a profit $246. They made a profit of $ 10 for every t shirt they sold and $12 for every hat they sold.

Answer 1

Let the number of hats they sold be x and the number of t shirts they sold be 23-x.

12x + 10(23-x) = 246

x = 8

The number of hats they sold is 8.

23-8= 15

The number of t shirts they sold is 15.
