Question

The committee has 2000 to buy t shirts for students a t shirt supplier charges $15 per shirt plus a $250 logo fee solve I'm not sure how to slove this

Answer 1

The total cost would be a bit less than the $2000.

 

116 * 15 = 1740

 

250 for the logo

 

250 + 1740 = 1990

 

Or you could increase the budget to 2005 and get 117 shirts.

Answer 2

The "logo fee" is probably a one-time charge to cover the cost of creating the logo. It's a constant.

 

That means

 

250 + 15x ≤ 2000

 

Where x is the number of shirts. The inequality sign is to cover us in case we would end up with part of a shirt.

 

15x ≤ 1750

 

x = 116.67 which means part of a shirt. You have to cut off the decimal part.

 

x = 116 shirts
