Question

The 8th grade is holding a fundraiser to raise money for an end of the y ear party. They are selling T-shirts and Caps to raise money. They make $15 profit from each T-shirt and $5 profit from each hat. Their goal is to raise $900.

Part A: Write and equation that represent this situation.

Part B: Find 3 combinations of shirts and caps that will achieve their goal of raising $900.

A CORRECT ANSWER WILL HAVE 4 PARTS!​

Answer 1

Part A- $15T+$5C=$900

Part B-

1. $15(40)+ $10(30)=$900

2.$15(30)+ $10(45)= $900

3.$15(20)+ $10(60) =$900

Explanation:

Part B

The max number of shirts you can sell is 60 because 15x60=900 but we want to see the max shirts AND hats. You can use almost any number (that ends in 5 or 0) less than 60. Such as 50 or 10 for how many shirts you sold then subtract that from 900 then divide that number by 10 because that's how much the hats cost then put that number in for C in your equation.
