Mother hung the clothes that have been washed. There were 27 different colored T-shirts and school uniforms that were washed. Mark wore a set of white polo shirts and plain white undershirts. on each school day for 5 days. Anna wore a pair of the blouse and a skirt each school day for 5 days. Three of each kind of clothes quickly dried under the sun and were removed from the clothesline. How many shirts are still on the clothesline? Write the mathematical expression that represents the number of shirts that still hang on the clothesline and solve the expression.

Mark: 5 shirts and undershirts

Anna: 5 blouses and skirts
total: 20 items
3 of each dried and were removed: 12 items
sounds like 2 shirts left
but I have no idea what the other 7 items were. Maybe you can figure it out.

Thank you for your help.

To find the number of shirts that still hang on the clothesline, we need to calculate the total number of shirts initially hanging on the clothesline and subtract the number of shirts that have been removed.

Given:
- There were 27 different colored T-shirts and school uniforms washed.
- Mark wore a set of white polo shirts and plain white undershirts, each school day for 5 days.
- Anna wore a pair of blouse and a skirt, each school day for 5 days.
- Three of each kind of clothes quickly dried under the sun and were removed from the clothesline.

Let's calculate the number of shirts initially hanging on the clothesline:
27 different colored T-shirts and school uniforms

Mark wore a set of white polo shirts and plain white undershirts each school day for 5 days, so he wore a total of:
5 days * 2 shirts (white polo shirts + plain white undershirts) = 10 shirts

Anna wore a pair of blouse and a skirt each school day for 5 days, so she wore a total of:
5 days * 2 shirts (blouse + skirt) = 10 shirts

Adding up all the shirts worn by Mark and Anna:
27 + 10 + 10 = 47 shirts

Now, we know that 3 shirts of each kind were removed from the clothesline, which means a total of:
3 shirts (Mark's polo shirts) + 3 shirts (Mark's undershirts) + 3 shirts (Anna's blouses) + 3 shirts (Anna's skirts) = 12 shirts were removed

To find the number of shirts that still hang on the clothesline, we subtract the number of removed shirts from the total number of shirts initially hanging on the clothesline:
47 shirts - 12 shirts = 35 shirts

Therefore, there are still 35 shirts hanging on the clothesline.

The mathematical expression that represents the number of shirts that still hang on the clothesline is:
47 - 12 = 35

Solution:
The number of shirts that still hang on the clothesline is 35.

To determine the number of shirts still on the clothesline, we need to subtract the clothes that were removed from the total number of shirts that were hung.

Let's break down the given information step by step:

1. Total number of clothes: 27 different colored T-shirts + school uniforms.
2. Mark wore a set of white polo shirts and plain white undershirts each school day for 5 days. So, he wore a total of 5 sets of shirts.
- Each set consists of a white polo shirt and a plain white undershirt.
3. Anna wore a pair of a blouse and a skirt each school day for 5 days. So, she wore a total of 5 pairs of clothes.
- Each pair consists of a blouse and a skirt.
4. Three of each kind of clothes quickly dried under the sun and were removed from the clothesline.
- This means that three shirts from Mark and three shirts from Anna were removed.

Now, let's calculate the number of shirts still on the clothesline:

Number of shirts worn by Mark: 5 sets/day * 2 shirts/set (white polo shirt + plain white undershirt) = 10 shirts
Number of shirts worn by Anna: 5 pairs/day * 2 shirts/pair (blouse + skirt) = 10 shirts

Total shirts worn: 10 shirts (Mark) + 10 shirts (Anna) = 20 shirts

Number of shirts removed: 3 shirts (Mark) + 3 shirts (Anna) = 6 shirts

Number of shirts still on the clothesline: Total shirts hung - Number of shirts removed
= 27 shirts (total) - 6 shirts (removed)
= 21 shirts still on the clothesline

So, there are 21 shirts still hanging on the clothesline.

Mathematical expression: Total shirts hung - Number of shirts removed = 27 - 6 = 21

Therefore, the mathematical expression representing the number of shirts that still hang on the clothesline is 27 - 6, which equals 21 shirts.
