Question 8 • (25-26) Lusk -- Algebra 2 - 4th Nine Weeks

A manager needs to order company shirts for each employee. She was quoted the following rates. If she orders 75 shirts and passes the cost along to the employees, what would each employee owe for the shirt if each pays the same amount? Round to the nearest cent. Price Quote for Company Work ShirtsNumber of shirts orderedCost per shirtFirst 19 shirts$10Next 30 shirts$8Each shirt over 49$5

Answer
A
$7.40
B
$7.47
C
$7.53
D
$7.66

Explanation

The first 19 shirts cost 19 × $10 = $190, and the next 30 cost 30 × $8 = $240. The remaining 75 − 49 = 26 shirts cost 26 × $5 = $130, so the total is $560. Dividing $560 by 75 employees gives about $7.47 each, so the correct choice is $7.47.
