Place a lien company sells t-shirts at $5 and shirt shorts with six if total sales were 1,040. and people bought four times as many t-shirts and shorts what was the total number of t-shirts and shorts sold

Number of shorts = 40

Number of t-shirt = 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of t-shirts = t

Let number of shorts = s

Price of each t-shirt = $5

Total price of t-shirts = 5t

Price of each shorts = $6

Total price of shorts = 6s

So,

5t + 6s = 1,040 ... Eq1

Given:

Number of t-shirt = 4 (number of shorts)

So, t = 4s ... Eq2

From Eq1 and Eq2

5t + 6s = 1,040

5 (4s) + 6s = 1,040

20s + 6s = 1,040

26s = 1,040

Number of shorts = 40

Number of t-shirt = 4 (number of shorts)

Number of t-shirt = 4 (40)

Number of t-shirt = 160
