11.95x +13.5y = 497.05 would be your equation for the prices
x + y = 39 to represent the total number of sweatshirts sold
x represents number of white, and y represents number of yellow. Then you solve the equations to find the answer.

Ok i did 11.95+13.50=497.05
subtracted 13.50 from 497.05 
I got 483.55 from there do I divide that by 11.95?
