Question

Find the equation of the line that models.....

Suppose the initial cost to make T-Shirts is $50. Each
T-Shirt costs $6.00 to make.
a) Write an equation to model this situation.
b) How much will it cost to make 10 T-Shirts.
c) Suppose you collected $200. How many T-shirts
can you have made for the club.

Answer 1

a) T= 6s +50

b) $110

c) 25 T-shirts

Explanation:

Let $T be the total cost to make T-shirts and s be the number of shirts.

a) T= 6s +50

b) T= 6s +50

When s= 10,

T= 6(10) +50

T= 60 +50

T= 110

It will cost $110 to make 10 T-shirts.

c) T= 6s +50

When T= 200,

200= 6s +50

6s= 200 -50 (-50 on both sides)

6s= 150

s= 150 ÷6 (÷6 on both sides)

s= 25

25 T-shirts have been made for the club.
