Answer:

The equation to determine the number of T-shirts = 15x+23=473

Explanation:

Given:

Donna has a T-shirt printing business.

Charge of grooming one T- shirt = $ 15

Set up fee charged by Donna = $ 23

Total cost received for an order = $ 473

We have to find the number of T-shirts printed by Donna in that order.

Let the number of T-shirt be "x".

Framing the above situation into equation:

⇒ (Unit price of T-Shirt)(Number of T-shirts) + Setup fee = Total charge


(\$15)(x)+\$23=\$473


15x+23=473


15x+23-23=473-23


15x=473-23


15x=450


x=(450)/(15)


x=30

The equation is 15x+23=473 and number of T-shirts in that order is 30 piece.
