Question

12. A company charges $8 to make a pattern for an order of t-shirts and $11 for each t-shirt it produced from the pattern. The expression $11n + $8 represents the cost of n t-shirts with the same pattern. Find the total cost for 35 t-shirts with the same pattern.

Answer 1

Total cost of t-shirts = $393

Explanation:

A company charges a fixed rate of $8 for the printing of pattern on the whole order of t-shirts.

It also charges a variable rate of $11 for each t-shirt.

So the equation for the total cost of the t-shirts becomes,

Total cost of t-shirts = $8 + $11n

Where n is the number of t-shirts.

We are given n = 35 t-shirts

So the total cost of t-shirts are,

Total cost of t-shirts = $8 + $11(35)

Total cost of t-shirts = $8 + $385

Total cost of t-shirts = $393
