Question

A shirt shop charges 19 per shirt for orders of 35 shirts or fewer. Once an order exceeds 35 shirts, the price drops to 14 for each additional shirt ordered. What is the price for an order of 40 shirts?

1) 190
2) 210
3) 220
4) 230

Answer 1

The price for an order of 40 shirts is $735.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the price for an order of 40 shirts, we need to consider the pricing structure of the shirt shop. The first 35 shirts cost $19 each, and any additional shirts beyond 35 cost $14 each.

So, for an order of 40 shirts, the cost will be:

1. 35 shirts x $19 each = $665
2. 5 additional shirts x $14 each = $70
3. Total cost = $665 + $70 = $735

Therefore, the price for an order of 40 shirts is $735.
