Let x - amount of small shirts, then amount of large shirts is 9 - x

x240+(9x)300=2520270060x=2520x=2700252060=18060=3x\cdot240+(9-x)\cdot300=2520\\ 2700-60x=2520\\ x=\frac{2700-2520}{60}=\frac{180}{60}=3

Amount of small shirts is 3, amount of large shirts is 9 - 3 = 6.

The correct statement is 3, that total cost of small shirts is 3240=7203\cdot240=720

Answer: [3] He paid R720 in total for the small shirts.
