Why did the sweatshirt go to therapy? Because it had too many hoods to deal with!
Let's solve this riddle together. Let's say the number of crewneck sweatshirts is x. Since there are 2 times as many hooded sweatshirts, we can say the number of hooded sweatshirts is 2x.
According to the problem, the total number of sweatshirts is 36. So we can set up the equation:
x + 2x = 36
Solving the equation, we find:
3x = 36
x = 12
So the number of hooded sweatshirts is 2 * 12 = 24.
The store has 24 hooded sweatshirts.
To find the number of hooded sweatshirts, we need to set up a system of equations based on the given information.
Let's say the number of crewneck sweatshirts is x.
According to the given information, the number of hooded sweatshirts is 2 times the number of crewneck sweatshirts, which would be 2x.
The total number of sweatshirts is 36, so we can write the equation:
x + 2x = 36
Combining like terms:
3x = 36
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = 36/3
x = 12
Therefore, the number of crewneck sweatshirts is 12.
To find the number of hooded sweatshirts, we substitute the value of x back into the equation:
2x = 2(12) = 24
Therefore, the store has 24 hooded sweatshirts.
