Answer 1

To find out the total number of T-shirts sold based on the information provided, we can use the percentage formula.

Given:

• The band sold 150 shirts, which is 30% of the total sales.

Let \( x \) be the total number of shirts sold. We know that:

\[ 0.30x = 150 \]

To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.30:

\[ x = \frac{150}{0.30} = 500 \]

So, the total sales of T-shirts was 500.

Now we can evaluate the statements:

1. The total sales will be greater than 150 shirts. - True (500 > 150)
2. The total sales will be less than 150 shirts. - False (500 < 150 is not true)
3. The band sold 180 shirts. - False (The band sold 150 shirts)
4. The band sold 500 shirts. - True (500 shirts were sold in total)

Thus, the two true statements are:

• The total sales will be greater than 150 shirts.
• The band sold 500 shirts.
