Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion
15/25 = x/126 Cross Multiply
25x = 15 *126 Divide by 25. Combine terms on the right
x = 1890 / 25
x = 75.6 Now we have to make a decision
What do we do about the 0.6?
Normally you would round to 76. But what is 0.6 of a shirt? We should round down.
