Answer 3

They sold $480 of tshirts, the ratio is 480;20, simplified to 24:1.
One shirt is $20, but $4 is the amount taken from 20 for the equipment.
Multiply $24 by the $4 taken for the equipment. (Equals $96)
They make 4/20 (1/5) of the the sales as a profit for equipment.
Multiply 1/5 by 480 and you will get $96 as the club's profits.
