Question

A club is planning on printing custom t-shirts for the 2013 academic year.

- The company FitTees' set-up fee is $50
- The first 50 shirts are priced at $12.99 each
- Any additional shirts are priced at $11.99 each
A competing company, Custom Ts, charges a set-up fee of $400 with t-shirts priced at $11.69 each.

Find the formulas for the total cost of ordering n shirts from each company. For what size of an order is it more economical to go with Custom Ts?

\[y=12.99x+50 \]
Where \[x \le 50\]

the second function can be written
