The total sales will be less than 120 shirts.
The total sales will be less than 120 shirts.

The total sales will be greater than 120 shirts.
The total sales will be greater than 120 shirts.

The band sold 400 shirts.
The band sold 400 shirts.

The band sold 150 shirts.

Answer 1

To find the total number of T-shirts sold, we know that 120 shirts represent 30% of the total sales. Let’s denote the total sales as \( x \).

We can set up the equation:

\[ 0.30x = 120 \]

To solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides by 0.30:

\[ x = \frac{120}{0.30} = 400 \]

So, the total number of T-shirts sold is 400.

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

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

The two true statements are:

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