Question

A.
69

B.
150

C.
214

D.
220

Answer 1

Let's start by finding the cost of the T-shirts.
Since each T-shirt costs $7, the total cost of the T-shirts is $1520 - $22 = $1498.

Next, we can determine how many T-shirts were ordered by dividing the total cost of the T-shirts by the cost of each T-shirt: $1498 / $7 = 214.

Therefore, the principal ordered 214 T-shirts.

The answer is C. 214.
