Respuesta :

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1. You have that Desiree wants to order 200 shirts that cost $5 and she  has $350 in her savings.
 2. Keeping this on mind, the total cost of the shirts is:
 
[tex]Total cost=(200)(5) \\ Totalcost=1000 dollars [/tex]
 3. Then, she must raise:
 [tex]x=1000-350 \\ x=650 dollars[/tex]
 Therefore, the answer is: [tex]650 dollars[/tex]
