To answer this item, we let x be the number of t-shirt style A and y be the number of t-shirt style B sold during June and July. Being discounted for 22%, the amount that is to be paid for t-shirt B in July is only $17.90. The equations that would best represent the given case are,

15.95x + 22.95y = 2779

15.95x + 17.90y = 2385.10

The values of x and y are 62 and 78, respectively.
