Part A

Coach Wilson ordered the same number of shirts from each supplier. Write an equation to find the shipping charges he paid to each supplier.

Part B

The first supplier gave Coach Wilson a discount of 10% off of his order total. The second supplier gave him a discount of $20 off of his order total. Write an equation to find the total cost, T, of the shirts.

Part C

Coach Wilson ordered 15 T-shirts from each supplier. How much did he pay?


Sagot :

Part A:
# of shirts bought in total (T)times cost of each shirt (E) =X. X times .5 (same as 5%)= shipping charge (S) =
first: T*E=X. second: X*.5=S

Part B:
vendor 1:
# of shirts bought (A) times cost of each shirt (B) plus shipping charge(C) times 10%=T. A*B+C*.10=T

vendor 2:
# of shirts bought (A) times cost of each shirt (B) plus shipping charge (C) minus $20= T. A*B+C-20=T

Part C:

vendor 1:
15*16=240 (total # of shirts * cost of ea.)
240+8= 248 (1st answer + $8 of shipping)
248*.10= 24.80 (2nd answer * 10% discount)
248-24.80= [223.20] (2nd answer - 10%)
vendor 1 total cost: 223.20.


vendor 2:
15*18=270 (# of shirt bought * cost of ea.)
270+12.60=280.60 (answr 1 + shipping cost)
280.60-20=[260.60](answr 2 -$20discount)
vendor 2 total cost: 260.60.
