The number of pants sewed in May was thrice as many as the number sewed in April. How many shirts were sewed in May?
Let the original number of garments ==G
0.80G + 0.20G ==shirts and pants they had in April
1.25 * 0.80G ==1G - number of shirts sewn in May
0.20G x 3 ==0.60G - number of pants sewn in May
0.80G + 0.20G + 1G + 0.60G ==840 + G
2.60G - G ==840
1.60G ==840
G==840 / 1.60 ==525 - original number of garments.
[525 x 0.80]==420 shirts sewn in April
420 x 1.25 ==525 shirts sewn in May
