Question

Need help please!


Ethan needs to order T-shirts for all the members. Each T-shirt costs $15 and the shipping fee for the order is $9.99.

(a) Write an equation showing the total cost, y, for an order of x T-shirts.

(b) Ethan has $500 allocated in the club’s budget for T-shirt orders. How many T-shirts can Ethan order with this amount? Show your work and explain your answer.

My equation came out as: 15t+9.99=500

Answer 8

Yep for A) 15t+9.99=y and to solve for b) 15t+9.99=500 It will come out to the decimal place, but you cant but .67 of a shirt. So it would be 32.
