Last week at a festival, a man sold 5 times as many tie-dyed t-shirts as silk-screened shirts. he sold 234 shirts altogether. how many tie-dyed shirts did he sell?

The tie-dyed t-shirts is 195

Explanation:

Let us assume the silk-screened shirts be X

And, the tie-dyes t-shirts would be = 5X

And, the total value equals to

silk-screened shirts + tie-dyes t-shirts

X + 5X = 234

6X = 234

X = 234 ÷ 6 = 39 shirts

So, the silk-screened shirts are 39 and, the tie-dyed t-shirts is 5 time of silk-screened shirts.

After total of the silk-screened shirts and  the tie-dyed t-shirts, the total number of shirts would be same i.e 234 t-shirts.

Therefore, the tie-dyed t-shirts is 195
