Let the number of shirts he buys = $\"+n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So he pays $\"+120%2A%28n%2F5%29+=+24n+\"$ dollars
\n" ); document.write( "His total income from selling them is $\"+30n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "His profit is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+30n+-+24n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For a profit of 1200,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+30n+-+24n+=+1200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6n+=+1200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "He must sell 200 shirts for a profit of $1200 \n" ); document.write( "
