Step-by-step reasoning process: Let x be the amount spent on a shirt. Greg spent 2x + 9 dollars on shoes. 300 = x + (2x + 9). 300 = 3x + 9. 291 = 3x. x = 97$. Greg spent 97$ on a shirt.
[Q & A] The question is While shopping, Greg spent 300$ on a shirt and shoes. If Greg spent 9 more than twice as much on shoes as he did a shirt, how much did Greg spend on a shirt?
The answer is 97

Step-by-step reasoning process: The total number of fruits that Kannon ate last is 3 apples + 1 banana + 4 oranges = 8. Since last night Kannon had 3 apples, today she'll eat 3 + 4 = 7 apples. She is also planning to eat 10 times as many bananas as she ate last night, a total of 1 * 10 = 10 bananas. Kannon will also eat twice as many oranges as apples she'll have today, which means she'll eat 7 * 2 = 14 oranges. Tonight Kannon will eat 14 oranges + 10 bananas + 7 apples = 31 fruits. In total, after tonight, Kannon would have eaten 31 + 8 = 39 fruits.
