Question

The varsity club wants to make 1000 dollars for a NYC trip. They are selling t-shirts for 9.00 dollars each. The fee for printing lancers logos is 30 dollars if the number of t-shirts is represented by x write and solve an inequality to find the number of t-shirts they have to sell in order to reach their goal

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

Given that:

Target amount for NYC trip = $1000

Cost of T - shirt = $9 each

Logo printing fee = $30

Number of T - shirts = x

Number of T - shirts to be sold in other to reach their goal :

[(Cost of logo + Cost of T shirt) * number of shirts sold] ≥ target amount

[($30 + $9) * x] ≥ $1000

$39x ≥ 1000

x ≥ 1000/ 39

x ≥ 25.64

Hence, they have to sell at least 26 t shirts with logo printed to raise $1000
