Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohl's sold 80 casual shirts. Let the number of polo shirts sold be x. Then, casual shirts sold = 4x. The total sales from polo shirts is $18x and from casual shirts is $9(4x) = $36x. The total sales equation is $18x + $36x = $1080, which simplifies to $54x = $1080. Solving for x gives x = 20 polo shirts. Therefore, the number of casual shirts sold is 4 times 20, which equals 80.
