Question

MpRashawn recently spent $100 to open a store selling tee-shirts. At his business, he purchases plain tee-shirts for $11 each, prints graphics on them, and then sells them for $26 each. What is the minimum number of tee-shirts that Rashawn would need to sell in order to make a profit (total income minus total expenses) of at least $400?

Answer 1

I believe its 34 because the profit per t-shirt is $15, and we need to get to $400, so we multiply by 27 which puts us at $405, but MpRashawn spent $100 to open the restaurant so we have to subtract that from our current total. Now we have $305, we can add 7 more sold t-shirts. Finally that puts us at $410.

Answer is 34.

Answer 2

26-11=15
400÷15=26,(6)
He would need to sell 27 T-shirts
