Answer: 2.50n + 30

each shirt (n) is $2.50 so to find the total for the shirts you would multiple $2.50 by (n) the number of shirts. The fee of the printer is only charged once so you would just add an extra $30 to the amount you got.

Answer:

1. n(4.75+30+2.50)

2. 4.75n+30n+2.50n

Explanation:

n is the number of shirts they buy. It says that each shirt costs $4.75, and for each shirt they add an extra $30 and $2.50 for the setup fee and to peint each shirt. The word each shows that you have to times. You have to times n by each number or to make it shorter put all three numbers in parenthesis put the n ouside of the parenthesis.

Hope that helps.
