Braeden Hicks · Answer 1

Total cost of t-shirts = $393

Step-by-step explanation:

A company charges a fixed rate of $8 for the printing of pattern on the whole order of t-shirts.

It also charges a variable rate of $11 for each t-shirt.

So the equation for the total cost of the t-shirts becomes,

Total cost of t-shirts = $8 + $11n

Where n is the number of t-shirts.

We are given n = 35 t-shirts

So the total cost of t-shirts are,

Total cost of t-shirts = $8 + $11 (35)

Total cost of t-shirts = $8 + $385

Total cost of t-shirts = $393
