Answer:
The correct option is;
Shirt Express charges less per shirt. For the cost to be the same 74 shirts must be ordered
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given table for Shirt Express can be used to find the equation of the total cost of each made by Shirt Express as follows;
The rate of change of the function m is given as follows;
Therefore, we have;
m = (438 - 353)/(50 - 40) = 8.5
Te equation in slope and intercept form is then y - 438 = 8.5(x - 50)
From which we have;
y = 8.5·x - 8.5×50 + 438 = 8.5·x + 13
y = 8.5·x + 13
Therefore, Shirt Express initially charges 13 per shirt which is less than the 50 Shirt Custom charges
2) the cost to be the same, we equate both shirts equations to get;
8.5·x + 13 = 8·x + 50
0.5·x = 50 - 13 = 37
x = 37/0.5 = 74 shirts
Therefore, for the cost to be the same 78 shirts must be ordered
