Question

Screen-printing a batch of shirts requires 3 minutes per shirt in addition to 13 minutes of initial set-up time. If it takes 616 minutes to screen-print a batch of shirts, how many shirts are in the batch?

Answer 1

Answer: 201 shirts

Explanation:

Let x= total shirts in the batch.

Total time taken for x shirts = Initial set-up time + (Time require per shirt) × (x)

`\Rightarrow\ 616= 13+3x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x=616-13\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x= 603\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(603)/(3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=201`

Hence, there are 201 shirts in the batch.
