Answer 1

Answer:

a. $445, $541, $637

b. $349 + n * $4.80

c. 135

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

number of shirts | cost in dollars

----------------------------------------------

20  |  $349 + 20*$4.80 = $445

40  |  $349 + 40*$4.80 = $541

60  |  $349 + 60*$4.80 = $637

b.

Cn = $349 + n * $4.80

c.

$1000 = $349 + n * $4.80

n * $4.80 = $1000 - $349

c * $4.80 = $651

c = $651 / $4.80 = 135.625

Maximum number of shirts with a budget of $1,000 is 135.
