They sold 76 t-shirts and 24 warm up pants.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one t-shirt = $20
Cost of warm up pants = $45
Total sold = 100
Worth of sold items = $2600
Let,
x be the number of t-shirts.
y be the number of warm up pants.
According to statement;
x+y=100 Eqn 1
20x+45y=2600 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 20
[tex]20(x+y=100)\\20x+20y=2000\ \ \ Eqn\ 3[/tex]
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
[tex](20x+45y)-(20x+20y)=2600-2000\\20x+45y-20x-20y=600\\25y=600\\[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 25
[tex]\frac{25y}{25}=\frac{600}{25}\\y=24\\[/tex]
Putting y=24 in Eqn 1
[tex]x+24=100\\x=100-24\\x=76[/tex]
They sold 76 t-shirts and 24 warm up pants.
