Question

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 < 20s + 15
50 + 10s < 20 + 155
50 + 10s > 20 + 158

Answer 1

50 + 10s > 20 + 15s

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.
