Jina sold t-shirts at a festival. She made $3 for each t-shirt she sold. Her expenses were $27. If she made a profit of $51, how many t-shirts did she sell?
Per shirt would be the “x” part of the equation. Meaning 3x would be the cost per shirt. And if her total 51, and it were to be a profit, you would add $27 to 3x.
