l + p + s = 18
l = s - 3
(18l + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14
s - 3 + p + s = 18
2s + p - 3 = 18
2s + p = 15
[18(s - 3) + 15p + 12s]/18 = 14
(18s - 54 + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14
(30s + 15p - 54)/18 = 14
30s + 15p - 54 = 252
30s + 15p = 306
2s + p = 15
p = -2s + 15
30s - 2s + 15 = 306
28s + 15 = 306
28s = 291
s = 10.4??
OpenStudy (aripotta):

OMG THIS IS MAKING NO SENSE
OpenStudy (aripotta):
l + p + s = 18
l = s - 3
(18l + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14
(s - 3) + p + s = 18
2s + p - 3 = 18
2s + p = 21
[18(s - 3) + 15p + 12s]/18 = 14
(18s - 54 + 15p + 12s)/18 = 14
(30s + 15p - 54)/18 = 14
30s + 15p - 54 = 252
30s + 15p = 306
2s + p = 21
p = -2s + 21
30s + 15(-2s + 21) = 306
30s - 30s + 315 = 306
315 = 306
s = 0??
OpenStudy (aripotta):
WHAT. she bought 0 short sleeved shirts??
OpenStudy (aripotta):
no, that's not possible

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (aripotta):
