A school plans to have a fundraiser before basketball games selling shirts with their school logo.
The school contacted two companies to find out how much it would cost to have the shirts made.
Company A charges a $50 set-up fee and $5 per shirt. Company B charges a $25 set-up fee and
$6 per shirt.
Write an equation for Company A that could be used to determine the total cost, A, when
x shirts are ordered. Write a second equation for Company B that could be used to determine
the total cost, B, when x shirts are ordered.
Determine algebraically and state the minimum number of shirts that must be ordered for it to be
cheaper to use Company A.

for the cost of shipping with company A to be cheaper, the minimum number of orders should be 25 shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of shirts ordered by the school from either companies.

Company A charges a $50 set-up fee and $5 per shirt. It means that the total amount that they would charge for x shirts ordered by the school is

5x + 50

Company B charges a $25 set-up fee and $6 per shirt. It means that the total amount that they would charge for x shirts ordered by the school is

6x + 25

For the cost of using company A to be cheaper, the expression would be

5x + 50 ≤ 6x + 25

50 - 25 ≤ 6x - 5x

25 ≤ x

x ≥ 25

a) 7x=7

step-by-step explanation:

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three

13.5 : 3
