Question

Your local volunteer group is making t-shirts. The shirt printers charge $35 to make the first t-shirt and $11 to make each additional shirt. What is the maximum number of shirts your group can buy for $250?

19 shirts
15 shirts
20 shirts
17 shirts
18 shirts

Answer 1

We are to find the number of t-shirt the group can buy given $250

Cost of first t-shirt = $35

Cost of each additional t-shirt = $11

Total amount with the group = $250

number of t-shirt the group can buy = x

The equation:

250 = 35 + 11x

250 - 35 = 11x

215 = 11x

divide both sides by 11

x = 215/11

x = 19.5

The group can not buy a decimal number of t-shirt.

x will be rounded down to 19

Therefore,

the total number of t-shirt the group can buy is 1 + 19

= 20 t-shirt
