The school bookstore sells t-shirts for $8 and sweatshirts for $12. Last month, the bookstore sold a combined total of 37 t-shirts and sweatshirts for a total of $376.

Let s equal the number of sweatshirts sold.

Which system of equations can be used to find the number of t-shirts and sweatshirts sold?

t+s=37 and 8t+12s=376t+s=37 and 8t+12s=376

t+s=376 and 8t+12s=37t+s=376 and 8t+12s=37

t+s=37 and 12t+8s=376

Answer 1

The correct system of equations to use in this situation is:

\( t + s = 37 \) (representing the total number of t-shirts and sweatshirts sold)
\( 8t + 12s = 376 \) (representing the total revenue from those sales)

So the answer is: t+s=37 and 8t+12s=376.
