Question

Barrett is ordering t-shirts for his school's student council. Company D charges a

$30 design fee plus $6.25 per t-shirt. Company E charges a $12 design fee plus $9.75
per t-shirt. Which inequality can be used to find x, the minimum number of t-shirts
that can be ordered so that the total cost with Company D is less than the total cost
with Company E?
A. 6.25x + 30 > 9.75x+12
C. 6.25 +30x > 9.75 + 12x
B. 6.25x + 30 < 9.75x+12
D. 6.25 + 30x < 9.75 + 12x

Answer 1

A. 6.25x + 30 > 9.75x+12

Explanation:

This is because we know from the problem that x is the minimum number of t-shirts. We also know Company D charges a 6.25 fee for each tee, while Company E charges a 9.75 fee per tee. Based on the information we know, we can choose the problem.
