The number of white  sweatshirts is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ordered black shirts be represented by b

Let ordered white shirts be represented by w

So total sweatshirts will be represented by the equation

b+w=50

The total cost of the ordered sweatshirts will be represented by

10b + 12 w= $556

For simultaneous equations as;

b+w=50

10b+12w=556

solving the equations using substitution method where b=50-w

10(50-w)+12w=556

500-10w+12w=556

-10w+12w=556-500

2w=56

w=56/2= 28

b=50-w=50-28=24

Number of white  sweatshirts  is 28
