502

Answer 1

To find out how many shirts were sold, we need to calculate 11% of the total sales (4,560).

First, we can convert the percentage to a decimal:

11% = 0.11

Now, we can calculate the number of shirts sold:

Number of shirts sold = 4,560 sales × 0.11 = 501.6

Since we can't have a fraction of a sale, we round to the nearest whole number, which is 502.

Therefore, the number of shirts sold is 502.
