Plz help I don't understand this question.

===========================================================

Explanation:

For company X, the equation is c = 10j + 115 where the 10j is the cost of buying all the jerseys (j of them). Then we tack on the flat fee of $115

The equation for company Y is c = 20j for similar reasoning as the previous company, but now each jersey costs $20. We don't add on anything else because there isn't an extra flat fee.

----------------

We have this system

which are the equations for company X and company Y in that order.

Both equations have 'c' on the left side. So we can equate the right hand sides and solve for j

20j = 10j+115

20j-10j = 115

10j = 115

j = 115/10

j = 11.50

Recall that j is the number of jerseys. It's not possible to order half a jersey, so we have to round to the nearest whole number. The question is: which way? We're right at the midpoint between j = 11 and j = 12. Let's check both values of j to see what the costs are for each company.

Company Y is the cheaper option if you bought 11 jerseys. But we want to know when company X is the better deal. Let's try j = 12

This time company X is the winner in terms of the best deal (aka cheapest cost). If j gets any bigger, then company X is still the winner. So we can see that the minimum order must be 12 jerseys if we want company X to be the cheapest option.

idk the answer but just put a
