Question

23. A sales manager wants to order baseball caps with her company logo for the salespeople attending a weekend training. Unique Uniforms charges $17.75 per cap, plus a design fee of $30. Logo Direct charges $15.50 per cap, plus a delivery fee of $48. For what number of caps ordered, would the cost be the same from both vendors?

Answer 1

the number of caps be 8

Explanation:

The computation of the number of caps ordered in order to equal the cost is shown below:

Let us assume the number of cap be x

Now the equations are

17.75x + $30

15.50x + $48

Now equate these two equations

17.75x + $30 = 15.50x + $48

17.75x - 15.50x = $48 - $30

2.25x = $18

x = 8

Hence, the number of caps be 8
