Answer: 28 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Lisa sold 11 shirts for every 7 shirts Becky sold. This can be expressed in a fraction as:

Lisa = 11/(11 + 7) = 11/18

Becky = 7/(11 + 7) = 7/18

If the girls sold 72 shirts in all, the number of shirts sold by Becky will be:

= 7/18 × 72

= 7 × 4

= 28
