Question

Erin is taking part in a play at the community theater. The cast and crew ordered T-shirts for all the volunteers. The cost of a T-shirt is $8, and the total delivery charge is $45 per order. If the center has no more than $325 to buy T-shirts, how many T-shirts can they buy?

Answer 1

The most they be able to by is 35 tshirts

Answer 2

8t + 45= 325 Original equation
-45 = -45 Subtract 45 from both sides to simplify the equation
8t= 280 New equation
t= 35 Divide 8 on both sides to isolate the variable to solve for t

They can buy 35 T-shirts
