Question

A company sells 100 - 0.5x shirts

Answer 1

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Company sells shirts=100-0.5x

Charge per shirt=x

We have to find the  charge per shirt in order to make $5000 on shirt sales.

According to question

$x(100-0.5x)=5000$

$100x-0.5x^2=5000$

$0.5x^2-100x+5000=0$

$5x^2-1000x+50000=0$

$x^2-200x+10000=0$

$x^2-2\times x\times 100+(100)^2=0$

$(x-100)^2=0$

$x=100,100$

Hence, charge per shirt=$100
