Question

You are in charge of designing your soccer team’s shirts and have narrowed it down to two companies. Master Ink has a flat rate of $35 and charges $12 for each t-shirt printed. Totally Tee has a flat rate of $55 and charges $8 for every t-shirt.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since there official question included with this, here is both equations and the point at which they equal the same amount.

Let x be every t-shirt printed.

Master Ink: 35+12x

Totally Tee: 55 + 8x

The point of which both equals the same (no matter how many shirts you buy) means that Master Ink = Totally Tee, therefore:

35+12x = 55+8x Solve

4x=20

x = 5

For the cost from both companies to be the same, you can buy 5 shirts. I would recommend Master Ink if you want to buy 5 shirts or less, and Totally Tee, for 5 shirts or more if you want to buy the cheapest offer.
