Question

Screen-printing a batch of shirts requires 1 minute per shirt in addition to 2 minutes of

initial set-up time. If it takes 42 minutes to screen-print a batch of shirts, how many shirts
are in the batch?

Answer 1

40 shirts

Explanation:

First you subtract the initial time to figure out how much time it takes printing:

42-2=40

It takes 40 minutes printing. It's 1 minute per shirt, during 40 minutes, so 40×1=40 shirts
