Linear Equations of Problem Scenarios

Question

A t-shirt company charges a $20.00 set-up fee plus $8.95 for each t-shirt that is screen-printed with a school’s logo. Write a function that can be used to find the total cost, C, for purchasing and screen printing, t, number of t-shirts.

Answer 1

Hello, Elizabeth,

C = 20 + 8.95*t

This can be read as "The total cost (C) will be $20 (setup fee) plus $8.95 for each t-shirt ordered (t).

10 shorts would be 20 + 8.95*10, or $109.50.
