1 answer

To find the total number of t-shirts sold by the band, we can set up the equation as follows:

Let \( x \) be the total number of shirts sold. According to the information given, 150 shirts represent 30% of the total sales.

We can express this relationship mathematically as:

\[ 150 = 0.30 \cdot x \]

To find \( x \), we can rearrange the equation:

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

So, the total number of t-shirts sold is 500.

Now let's evaluate the options:

A. Band sold 500 shirts - This is true. B. Total sales will be greater than 150 shirts - This is also true since the total is 500 shirts. C. Total sales will be less than 150 shirts - This is false. D. The band sold 180 shirts - This is also false.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

  • A. Band sold 500 shirts
  • B. Total sales will be greater than 150 shirts
