Respuesta :

Answer:

Todd can buy 8 shirts, which are on sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

d dollars- Shirt on Sale

4d dollars- Shirt regular price

2(4d)-The amount of money Todd has

x- amount of shirts on sale Todd can buy

2(4d)=dx           Distribute

8d=dx               Divide d on both sides

8=x or x=8

Todd can buy 8 shirts on sale.

The number of shirts that Todd can buy at the given sale price is; 8 shirts

We are told that cost of a shirt is $d.

Now, the regular price is 4 times as much.

This means the regular price is 4d.

Todd has enough money to buy 2 shirts at the regular price.

Thus, the cost for the 2 shirts at the regular price is; 2(4d)

Since the shirt is available for d dollars, it means that if the number of shirts available is x at the sale price.

Thus, amount = dx

Therefore;

2(4d) = dx

8d = dx

x = 8d/d

x = 8 shirts
