Let xx be the number of medium T-shirts out of 126 on the rack. Write down the ratio of medium T-shirts to the total number of T-shirts:


1535=x126\frac{15}{35}=\frac{x}{126}

Multiply across the known corners, then divide by the third number:


x=1512635x=\frac{15\cdot126}{35}x=54x=54

Hence, we expect to find 54 T-shirts on a rack.

Answer: 54 T-shirts
