Question

Bryan’s hockey team is purchasing jerseys. The company charges $250 for a one-time set-up fee and$23 for each printed jersey. Which expression represents the total cost of x number of jerseys for the team?

1) 23x
(2) 23x + 250
(3) 23 + 250x
(4) 23(x + 250)

Answer 1

(2) 23x + 250

Explanation:

We are given that

Company charges for one-time set up=$250

Charge for each printed jersey=$23

x=Number of jerseys for team

We have to find the expression which represents the total cost of x number of jerseys for the team.

Total cost of x jerseys printing=
`23* x`

Total cost of x jerseys printing
`=23x`

Therefore,

Total cost of x number of jerseys for the team=250+23x

Hence, option (2) is true.

(2) 23x + 250
