The school band sold T-shirts to raise money for an upcoming trip. It sold 120 shirts, which was 30% of the total sales on Sunday. How many T-shirts did the band sell in all? Select the two true statements.(2 points)ResponsesThe total sales will be less than 120 shirts.The total sales will be less than 120 shirts.The band sold 150 shirts.The band sold 150 shirts.The band sold 400 shirts.The band sold 400 shirts.The total sales will be greater than 120 shirts.

Answer 1

To find the total T-shirts sold by the band, we can use the information given that 120 T-shirts represent 30% of the total sales.

Let \( x \) be the total number of T-shirts sold. According to the problem:

\[ 0.3x = 120 \]

To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.3:

\[ x = \frac{120}{0.3} = 400 \]

So the total number of T-shirts sold was 400.

Now, we can evaluate the true statements based on this information:

1. The total sales will be less than 120 shirts. - False
2. The total sales will be less than 120 shirts. - False (repeated)
3. The band sold 150 shirts. - False
4. The band sold 400 shirts. - True
5. The total sales will be greater than 120 shirts. - True

The two true statements are:

• The band sold 400 shirts.
• The total sales will be greater than 120 shirts.
