Question

CLOTHING A company charges $6 to make a pattern for an order of T-shirts and $11 for each T-shirt it produces from the pattern. The expression $11n + $6 represents the cost of n T-shirts with the same pattern. Find the total cost for 5 T-shirts with the same pattern.

Answer 1

With 11n + 6 being the equation we just substitute n for the number of t shirts.
11(5) + 6 .
55+6
$61 to make 5 tshirts

Answer 2

$61

Explanation:

It means that $6 is a fixed charge for pattern making on an order of shirts while the cost for the number of T-shirts produced is equivalent to the product of 11 and the number of shirts in dollars.

This explains the function $11n + $6 where n is the number of T-shirts produced with the same pattern.

As such, the cost for 5 T-shirts will be

=11(5) + 6

=55 + 6

= $61

The total cost for 5 T-shirts with the same pattern is $61.
