Question

The BHS band needs to make T-shirts for its 35 members and has set aside some money in their budget to pay for them. The members of the band decided to order from a printing company that charges $3 per shirt, plus a $50 fee for each color to be printed on the shirts.

Write an equation that represents the relationship between the number of T-shirts ordered, the number of colors on the shirts, and the total cost of the order. If you use a variable, specify what it represents.



2. In this situation, which quantities do you think can vary? Which might be fixed?

Answer 1

C = 105 + 50x

2) variable unit = Numbe of color

Fixed unit = number of shirt

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of members = 35

Charge per shirt = $3

Charge per color = $50

relationship between the number of T-shirts ordered, the number of colors on the shirts, and the total cost of the order

Let cost of order = C

Number of color = x

Number of Tshirt ordered = 35

Cost = (charge per shirt * number of shirts) + charge per color * number of colors)

C = (3 * 35) + ($50 * x)

C = 105 + 50x

Number of shirts to be ordered has been fixed tnd this includes it's 35 members

The number of color to be used hasn't been adopted and can thus be varied
