Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Acme Company:

Let the number of shirts = x

Cost = 50 + 9x

Beta Company:

Cost = 14x

50 + 9x < 14x

Subtract 9x from both sides

50 < 14x - 9x

50 < 5x

Divide both sides by 5

50/5 < x

10 < x

Minimum number of shirts for which a customer saves money by using Acme = 11 T-shirts
