The first 20 T-shirts cost $12 each,
1 shirt → $12
20 shirts → $12 x 20 = $240

For the rest of the T-shirts, they cost:
$429 - $240 = $189

For the rest of the T-shirts, each shirt costs $9.
1 shirt → $9
? shirts → $189

To find the number of shirts (the ‘?’):
$189 ÷ $9 = 21

Total number of T-shirts:
20 + 21 = 41
