11. The senior class at Eastside High School is get
class T-shirts
printed. The silkscreening
company that makes the shirts charges $8.25 per shirt and a one-tin
fee of $38 to make the
silkscreen. If the senior class has budgeted $4,500.00 for the T-shirts
what is the greatest
number of shirts they can order?

Answer 1

Greatest number of t-shirts that can be ordered is 540.

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of printing one shirt = $8.25

One time fee to make the silkscreen = $38

Budget for the t-shirts = $4500.00

Let,

x be the number of t-shirts

According to given statement;

8.25x + 38 ≤ 4500.00

8.25x ≤ 4500.00 - 38

8.25x ≤ 4462.00

Dividing both sides by 8.25

`(8.25x)/(8.25)\leq (4462.00)/(8.25)\\x\leq 540.84`

Hence,

Greatest number of t-shirts that can be ordered is 540.
