The Shirt Order


Last month, a store had the following inventory of shirts.


Type of Shirt Number at the beginning of the month Number at the end of the month
Dress shirts 375 191
Polo shirts 610 288
T-shirts 158 60



The factory where these shirts are manufactured, has set a minimum number of shirts
that can be ordered at 1000 shirts.


In the space below, explain how you could use the data in the table to decide how many of each type of shirt you should order to reach the 1000 shirt minimum. Be sure that your order reflects the sales of each type of shirt during the last month. Show or explain how you arrived at your answer.
