The GooGoo brand of clothing manufactures two types of shirts, one with 3 buttons and the other with 5 buttons. A large department store ordered GooGoo to manufacture 200 of each type of shirt. How many buttons will the GooGoo brand use to manufacturer all of the shirts for this order? Let's be accurate as possible.
To make 200 of the first type of shirt, they will need 200 * 3 = 600 buttons. To make 200 of the second type of shirt, they will need 200 * 5 = 1000 buttons. To manufacture 200 each of both types of shirts, they will need to use 600 + 1000 = 1600 buttons.
The answer: 1600.
