A company charges $7 for a T-shirt and ships any order for $22. A school principal ordered a number of T-shirts for the school store. The total cost of the order was $1,520. How many T-shirts did the principal order?
A.
69
B.
150
C.
214
D.
220
Let's start by finding the cost of the T-shirts.
Since each T-shirt costs $7, the total cost of the T-shirts is $1520 - $22 = $1498.
Next, we can determine how many T-shirts were ordered by dividing the total cost of the T-shirts by the cost of each T-shirt: $1498 / $7 = 214.
Therefore, the principal ordered 214 T-shirts.
The answer is C. 214.
