<PRE><B>Question 48924</B>
Store sold twice as many t-shirts(T) as shorts(S). T-shirts are $9 each and shorts are $14 each. The total amount of money taken in for both was $256. Find the number of each that was sold.
T=2S
COST OF T SHIRTS =9T=9*2S=18S....SINCE T=2S
COST OF S SHORTS =14S
TOTAL COST = 18S+14S=256
32S=256
S=256/32=8
S=8 AND T=2*8=16
