James needs to buy shirts for his business. Company C charges customers a one-time $50 printing fee plus $10 for every shirt. Company D charges a one-time $20 printing fee plus $15 for every shirt. Which inequality can be used to find s, the minimum number of shirts that can be purchased so that the total charge at Company C is less than the total charge at Company D? 50s+10>20s+15 50s+10 20+15s

Answer:

50 + 10s > 20 + 15s

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because if James pays for 1 shirt from company C he would be paying $60, but if he were to pay for 1 shirt at company D he would be paying $35. So that's why its >. Anyway, the s goes on the second number because that's the price for every shirt, And the first number is by itself because its a one-time printing fee.
