390 shirts

Solve for x, number of shirts

$2,255= $6x- $85 rebate

(add 85 to both sides)

$2340= 6x

(divide by 6)

2340/6= 390 shirts

Answer:

390 shirts

Explanation:

if actual expense is 2255 then this expense is actually the cash paid to the shirt company. So, the actual amount to be owed by the school will be

2255+85 = 2340

Now in order to calculate the number of shirts we need to divide this total amount by price of one shirt.

2340/6  =  390 shirts
