Question

If Cactus Company sells each of their t-shirts for $7 with a $15 printing fee and Flower Company sells each of their t-shirts for $5 with a $35 printing fee, at which point would the same amount of t-shirts cost the same amount of money?​

Answer 1

10 shirts have to be purchased.

Explanation:

The Cactus Company equation: 15 (base fee) + 7x (7 being the price, x being the number of shirts purchased).

The Flower Company equation: 35 (base fee) + 5x (5 being the price, x being the number of shirts purchased).

Our final equation: 15+7x = 35 + 5x

-5x -5x

15+2x = 35

-15 -15

2x = 20

/2 /2

x = 10
