Answer:

So the equation and solution will be:

Total time taken = 3 × number of shirts + 19.87 min (setup time)

= 3 × 143 + 19.87


=429+19.87


=448.87

Explanation:

From the question statement, it is clear that

  • screen-printing a batch of shirts requires 3 minutes per shirt in addition to 19.87 minutes of initial set-up time.

we have to determine how long does it take to screen-print a batch of 143 shirts.

so the equation and solution will be:

Total time taken = 3 × number of shirts + 19.87 min (setup time)

= 3 × 143 + 19.87


=429+19.87


=448.87 min
