Answer:
28 short-sleeved shirts were sold and 23 long-sleeved shirts were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this question by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of short-sleeved shirts sold.
y is the number of long-sleeved shirts sold.
A department store sold 51 shirts one day.
This means that
All short-sleeved shirts cost $14.00 each and all long-sleeved shirts cost $23.00 each. Total receipts for the day were $921.00.
This means that
How many of each kind of shirt were sold?
We have to solve the system of equations.
