Question

Taylor will order one t-shirt for each person who attends her family's reunion. The cost is

$8 per t-shirt plus a one-time printing fee of $40.00. This can be represented by the
equation c = 8n + 40, where c represents the total cost of the shirts and n represents
the number of shirts ordered. If the family can spend no more than $600.00 on t-shirts,
what is the maximum number they can order?
B) 75
C) 70
A) 80
D) 15

Answer 1

C) 70

Explanation:

Since they can only spend a maximum of $600, we can fill that in for c. Now, we can solve the equation for n.

600 = 8n + 40

~Subtract 40 to both sides

560 = 8n

~Divide 8 to both sides

70 = n

Best of Luck!
