A t-shirt printing company charges a one-time setup fee, plus a charge to print each t-shirt. The math club had 75 t-shirts printed for a cost of $424. The science club had 50 t-shirts printed for a cost of $299. What is the cost of having 170 t-shirts printed? *

$826.70

Step-by-step explanation:

If 75 t-shirts cost $ 424, it implies that the value of each shirt is $ 5.65 (424/75). Now, in the case of the 50 shirts, the total value is $ 299, with which the value of each unit is $ 5.98.

Thus, we can see that in an increase of 50% of the units (from 50 to 75), the discount is of the order of, as it arises from the following calculation:

5.98 = 100

5.65 = X

((5.65 x 100) / 5.98) = X

94.48 = X

Thus, since 100 - 94.48 is 5.52, the discount made for the 25 shirts is 0.22% each unit (5.52 / 25). Thus, in the case of printing 170 t-shirts, taking into account this tariff system, and taking as a base price that of 50 t-shirts at $ 299, a discount of 0.22% would be made on each of the 120 remaining t-shirts. Thus, 120 t-shirts at $ 717.6 (5.98 x 120) would be added to the initial $ 299, on which a 26.4% discount (0.22 x 120) would be applied, with which the final price would be $ 527.7 (717 x 0.736).

Thus, the total price of the shirts would be $ 826.7 (that is, adding the base price of $ 299 plus the price of the 120 extra shirts of $ 527.7).

  about 5.6 days

step-by-step explanation:

we can fill the given information into the decay equation and solve for the value of t at which half the sample remains.

the half-life is about 5.6 days.
