PLEASE HELP

The Ocean Bike Tour Group thought it would be a good idea to get a souvenir T-shirt for each customer who went on their bike tour. They found a company who would sell them shirts with their logo for $5.50.

What is the dependent variable in this relationship?

Write an equation that shows how to determine the T-shirt cost (c) for any number of customers (n).

What would be the cost for 21 shirts? Write your answer as a number only.

Answer:

Cost of shirt

c = $5.50x

$115.5

20 t - shirts

Explanation:

The dependent variable here is Cost of shirt

T - shirt cost , c equation of any number of customers :

The cost per shirt = $5.50

Let the number of shirts purchased = x

Hence,

c = $5.50x

The cost 21 shirts

x = 21

c = $5.50 * 21 = $115. 5

With c = $110

number of shirts, n equals

110 = 5.50x

110/ 5.5 = x

20

= 20 at shirts
