Answer: D) 10 jerseys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let j represent the number of jerseys and C for total cost
Local company eqn: C = 5.25j + 45
Online company eqn: C = 7.75j + 20
Set both sides equal to solve:
5.25j + 45 = 7.75j + 20
5.25j - 7.75j = 20 -45
- 2.5j = -25
j = 10
Therefore, the cost is the same for both companies when 10 jerseys are sold
