Question

Anthony is buying shirts for his baseball team. He will pay $8.50 for each shirt plus a one-time fee of $19.50 for the design. Which equation can be used to find y, the total cost to buy x shirts?

Answer 1

The total cost y consists of,

8.50 for each shirt, so for x shirts, Anthony pays 8.5x

+ a one time design fee of 19.5

so

y = 8.5x +19.5 is the equation for the total cost
