To find the number of each clothing item Heidi purchased, we can start by breaking down the total amount she spent on each category.
Heidi bought 2 pairs of shorts at $10 each, which means she spent a total of 2 * $10 = $<<2*10=20>>20 on shorts.
She also bought some t-shirts at $4 each, but we don't know the quantity yet. Let's say she bought x t-shirts. Therefore, she spent a total of x * $4 = $4x on t-shirts.
Finally, she bought some sandals at $12 each, but we don't know the quantity either. Let's say she bought y sandals. Therefore, she spent a total of y * $12 = $12y on sandals.
We know that Heidi spent a total of $60 on all the clothing items combined, so we can write an equation based on the amounts spent on each category:
$20 (shorts) + $4x (t-shirts) + $12y (sandals) = $60.
Simplifying the equation, we have:
20 + 4x + 12y = 60.
To find the integer solutions for x and y, we need another equation. However, the problem does not provide any additional information or constraints. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the exact quantity of each clothing item Heidi purchased based on the given information.
