    Let's call x = profit from the sweatshirt sales 1) A vendor pays to rock band 13% of the total profit from T-shirts and sweatshirts sold at every concert. 2) the profit from T-shirts sales was $ 1,632 3) The vendor paid the rock band $ 726 after the last concert We then have the following equation: 0.13 * (1632 + x) = 726 Clearing x: (1632 + x) = (726 / 0.13) x = (726 / 0.13) - 1632 = 3953 $ Answer: the profit from sweatshirt sales was 3953 $
