Question

A t-shirt shop charges $19 per shirt for orders of 30 shirts or fewer. Once an order exceeds 30 shirts, the price drops to $15.00 for each additional shirt ordered. Given that information, determine the total cost of an order of 44 shirts.

a) $475
b) $596
c) $684
d) $731

Answer 1

The total cost of an order of 44 shirts can be found by calculating the cost of the first 30 shirts and the cost of the additional 14 shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the total cost of an order of 44 shirts, we need to consider two different price ranges: the first 30 shirts cost $19 each, and the additional 14 shirts cost $15 each.

So, the cost of the first 30 shirts is 30 x $19 = $570.

The cost of the additional 14 shirts is 14 x $15 = $210.

The total cost of the order is $570 + $210 = $780.

Therefore, option d) $731 is incorrect. The correct answer is option e) $780.
