Question

The field hockey coach is purchasing new uniforms for the team. Company A charges a one-time printing fee of $100 and $12 per uniform. Company B charges a one-time fee of $61 and $15 per uniform. How many uniforms must the coach buy to get a better deal from Company A?

Answer 1

You can make this into an inequality, using x as the number of uniforms.
100 + 12x < 61 + 15x
39 < 3x
13 < x, so they must buy more than 13 to get a better deal.
