To find how many shirts does Phil own
Statement 1
12 of Phil's shirts are dress shirts.
We don't know anything about how many non-dress shirts phil owns ?
Statement 1 is not sufficient
Statement 2
85 percent of Phil's shirts are not dress shirts.
=> 15 percent of Phil's shirts are dress shirts.
=> Phil might have 15 dress shirts and 85 non-dress shirts => 100 total shirts
or
=> Phil might have 30 dress shirts and 170 non-dress shirts => 200 total shirts
Still we can't figure out the exact number of shirts phil owns.
Statement 2 is not sufficient
Combining statements 1 and 2
From statement 1, phil owns 12 dress shirts and from statement 2, 15% of phil's shirts are dress shirts
=> \(\frac{15}{100} * shirts\) = 12
=> shirts = \(12 * \frac{100}{15}\) = 80
Statements 1 and 2 together are sufficient
Hence option C

Let total number of shirts be "x". Need to find unique value of x.
Statement 1 is not sufficient as it gives only number of shirts that are "dress shirts" .Nothing is mentioned about non-dress shirts.
Statement 2 gives the percentage of shirt that are non-dress shirt. This is also insufficient .
Combining both 1 and 2
Let total number of shirts be "x" , out of which 85 percent are non dress shirt. So, 15 percent will be dress shirt.
.15*x=12
x=80
Statement 1 and 2 together are suffcient.
