    They sold 40 shirts and 40 magazine subscriptions.

    Explanation:

    profit per shirt = $5

    set up costs = $40

    profit per magazine = $4

    S = shirts

    C = setup costs

    M = magazine

    5S - C = 4M

    S = M so we replace

    5S - 40 = 4S

    5S - 4S = 40

    S = 40

    They sold 40 shirts and 40 magazine subscriptions.
