Question

Mathewson middle school band is selling t-shirts to raise money for new uniform they need to raise $1260. They are selling t-shirt for $12 each. There is 6 profit for each shirt sold . So far they have sold 85 t - shirt how many more t-shirts do they need to sell to raise the $1260?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok they need to make $1,260.

Each t-shirt sells for $12 but they only make half that amount $6

So far 85 t-shirts have been sold

85 * 12 = 1,020

Ok but remember its half that amount-

1,020 / 2 = 510

So far they have $510 raised.

1260 - 510 = 750

They still need to raise $750.

If we divide $750 / 6 = 125

So that's our answer, now if we wanna verify-

125 * 12 = 1500

1500 / 2 = 750

So after revising, we are left with the answer 125, Mathewson middle school must sell 125 more t-shirts to make the desired amount.

Hope this helps! :)
