Answer :

Let's analyze the data in the table to understand what we can infer. The table provides the number of shirts sorted by color (Red and Blue) and size (Large and Medium).

1. Large Red Shirts: The number of large red shirts is given as 42.

2. Medium Red Shirts: The number of medium red shirts is given as 48.

3. Total Red Shirts: The total number of red shirts is the sum of large and medium red shirts [tex]\(42 + 48\)[/tex], which is 90.

4. Large Blue Shirts: The number of large blue shirts is given as 35.

5. Medium Blue Shirts: The number of medium blue shirts is given as 40.

6. Total Blue Shirts: The total number of blue shirts is the sum of large and medium blue shirts [tex]\(35 + 40\)[/tex], which is 75.

7. Total Large Shirts: Adding the large shirts of both colors, [tex]\(42 + 35\)[/tex], gives us 77 large shirts in total.

8. Total Medium Shirts: Adding the medium shirts of both colors, [tex]\(48 + 40\)[/tex], gives us 88 medium shirts in total.

9. Overall Total Shirts: By summing up all the shirts regardless of color and size, [tex]\(42 + 48 + 35 + 40\)[/tex], we get a total of 165 shirts.

From this data, it becomes evident that the total number of shirts is 165, with specific counts for large, medium, red, and blue shirts provided in the table.

We can make the following inferences based on the table's data:
- There are 77 large shirts in total.
- There are 88 medium shirts in total.
- There are 90 red shirts in total.
- There are 75 blue shirts in total.
- The overall total number of shirts is 165.

Hence, from the data given in the table, we can infer that the total number of shirts is 165.
