Question

Bill wants to order new jerseys for his baseball team. He has found two different companies and needs to determine which one is the better deal for his team. PRINT IT sells jerseys for $21.0 each. TOP PRINT a onetime set up cost of $45.0 and jerseys for $18.0 each. A. Write a system of equations for this situation.

Answer 1

`Cost = 21.0j` --- PRINT IT

`Cost = 45.0 +18.0j` --- TOP PRINT

Explanation:

Given

Print IT & Top Print

Represent the number of jerseys with j.

For PRINT IT.

`Cost=\$21.0` per jersey

For Top Print

`Base\ Amount = \$45.0`

`Cost = \$18.0` per jersey.

j jerseys with PRINT IT will cost:
`21.0 * j`

`Cost = 21.0 * j`

`Cost = 21.0j`

j jerseys with TOP PRINT will cost:
`45.0 +18.0 * j`

`Cost = 45.0 +18.0j`
