Question

Tina's Tops is a new store that prints personalized T-shirts. She charges a $12 one-time fee for the design.

Solve the equation 72=12+4x and explain what the solution tells you about the number of shirts printed and the cost.

Answer 1

Solve:

1) 72=12+4x

2) 72-12=4x

3)60=4x

4)60/4=x

5)15=x

This COULD be telling us that 15 t shirts and the $12 dollar design for all of them costs a total of $72.
