Answer 1

Lindsay bought 3 pants

Explanation:

Lindsay went shopping at her favorite store.

She bought

• 4 shirt for $50 each and paid $200 for 4 shirts;
• 2 purses for $30 each and paid $60 for 2 purses;
• x pants for $40 each and paid $40x for x pants.

Thus, her total bill was

`\$200+\$60+\$40x`

If her total bill was $380, then

`200+60+40x=380\\ \\40x=380-200-60\\ \\40x=120\\ \\x=3`

Lindsay bought 3 pants
