--------------
Quantity:: b + r = 125 shirts
Value:::795b+895r = 103675 cents
----------------------------
Modify for elimination:
795b + 795r = 795*125
795b + 895r = 103675
--------------------------
Subtract and solve for "r":
100r = 4300
r = 43 (# of red sold)
-----
b = 125-43 = 82 (# of blue sold)
----------
