26-11=15

400:15=26, (6)

He would need to sell 27 T-shirts

Jovanny · Answer 2

I believe its 34 because the profit per t-shirt is $15, and we need to get to $400, so we multiply by 27 which puts us at $405, but MpRashawn spent $100 to open the restaurant so we have to subtract that from our current total. Now we have $305, we can add 7 more sold t-shirts. Finally that puts us at $410.

Answer is 34.
