Whiskey · Answer 1

Let

W=white

Y=yellow

11.5 (32-w) + 11.95w=373.40

Solve for w

W=12

Y=32-12=20

Andrew · Answer 2

32=w+y, w=32-y ...

11.95w+11.5y=373.4, using w from above gives us:

11.95 (32-y) + 11.5y=373.4

382.4-11.95y+11.5y=373.4

-.45y=-9

y=20

So 20 yellow and (32-20) 12 white shirts were sold.
