[Question]Norma takes her clothes to the laundry. She leaves 9 T-shirts and twice as many sweaters as T-shirts in the washer. When she returns she finds 3 sweaters and triple the number of T-shirts. How many items are missing?
[Answer]Norma left 9 T - shirts And twice as many sweaters, she took 9 * 2 = 18 sweaters. Adding the T - shirts and sweaters, Norma left 9 + 18 = 27 clothes.
