b. Write an expression for the cost of making n T-shirts


c. What is the maximum number of T-shirts Elena can make with a budget of $1000?
​

Answer 1

a)

20 shirts | 349 + 20(4.8)

40 shirts | 349 + 40(4.8)

60 shirts | 349 + 60(4.8)

(please simplify them yourself)

b) Tn = 349 + n(4.8)

c) (1000 - 349)/4.8 ............... rounded down.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 20= $445

   40= $541

   60= $637

b) y = 349 + n (4.80)

c) 135 t-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Printing machine cost: $349

Cost per shirt: $4.80

a)  

Number of T-shirts : 20

To find the cost we have to multiply the cost of each t-shirt by the number of t-shirts, and add the cost of the machine.

cost: $349 + (20x $4.80) = $445

number of T-shirts : 40

cost : $349 + (40x $4.80) = $541

number of T-shirts : 60

cost : $349 + (60x $4.80) = $637

b) y = 349 + n (4.80)

where:

y= total cost in dollars

n = number of T-shirts

c)  To calculate this we have to subtract the cost of the machine to the budget, and divide it by the cost of each t-shirt.

(1000-349 ) / 4.8 =135 T-shirts
