Question

A company charges $5 to make a pattern for an order of T-shirts and $12 for each T-shirt made with the pattern. The expression $12n + $5 represents the total cost of n shirts made with the same pattern. What is the total cost of ordering 4 T-shirts with the same pattern?

Answer 1

We have the equation

T = 12n+5 where n is the number of t shirts and T is the total cost

= 12(4) +5

= 48+5
