Question

Erin is taking part in a play at the community theater. The cast and crew ordered t-shirts for all the volunteers. The cost of a t-shirt is $8, and the total delivery charge is $45 per order. If the center has no more than $325 to buy t-shirts, how many t-shirts can they buy?

A) A number line from minus 50 to 50 ten per unit has a line segment from 45 toward minus 50.
B) A number line from minus 50 to 50 ten per unit has a line segment from 35 toward minus 50.
C) A number line from minus 50 to 50 ten per unit has a line segment from 45 toward 50.
D) A number line from minus 50 to 50 ten per unit has a line segment from 40 toward 50

Answer 1

After accounting for the delivery charge, the community theater can buy a maximum of 35 t-shirts with their budget of $325.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many t-shirts can be purchased with a budget of no more than $325, we need to consider both the cost per t-shirt and the total delivery charge. The cost of one t-shirt is $8, and there is a fixed delivery charge of $45 for the order.

First, subtract the delivery charge from the total budget: $325 - $45 = $280. Now, with the remaining $280, we divide that by the cost of one t-shirt, which is $8.

$280 ÷ $8 = 35 t-shirts.

Therefore, the community theater can buy a maximum of 35 t-shirts without exceeding their budget.
