Question

A manager needs to order company shirts for each employee. She was quoted the following rates. If she orders 75 shirts and passes the cost along to the employees, what would each employee owe for the shirt if each pays the same amount? Round to the nearest cent. Price Quote for Company Work Shirts Number of shirts ordered Cost per shirt First 19 shirts $10 Next 30 shirts $8 Each shirt over 49 $5 $7. 40 $7. 47 $7. 53 $7. 66.

Answer 1

The answer is B.$7.47.

Let's first calculate how much in total 75 shirts cost:
- first 19 (less than 20) cost $10: 19 * $10 = $190
- the next 30 cost $8: 30 * $8 = $240
- the rest (26 = 75 - 19 - 30) cost $5: 26 * $5 = $130

So, in total 75 shirts cost $560:
19 * $10 + 30 * $8 + 21 * $5 = $190 + $240 + $130 = $560

Since 75 shirts are ordered, there must be 75 employees, so each employee must pay $7.47:
$565 ÷ 75 = $7.47
