1. Allison’s middle school team has designed t-shirts containing their team name and color. Allison and her friend Nicole have volunteered to call local stores to get an estimate on the total cost of purchasing t-shirts. Print-o-Rama charges a set-up fee, as well as a fixed amount for each shirt ordered. The total cost is shown below for the given number of shirts. Value T’s and More charges $8 per shirt. Which company should they use? a. Does either pricing model represent a proportional relationship between the quantity of t-shirts and the total cost? Explain.

b. What is the constant of proportionality of Value T’s and More? What does it represent?

c. How much is Print-o-Rama’s set-up fee?

d. If you need to purchase 90 shirts, write a proposal to your teacher indicating which company the team should use. Be sure to support your choice. Determine the number of shirts that you need for your team.

the numbers are missing here, so I looked for a similar question:

Print-O-Rama

# shirts    total  cost

10                $95

50             $375  

a. Does either pricing model represent a proportional relationship between the quantity of t-shirts and the total cost? Explain.

Value T’s and More offers a proportional relationship since each t-shirt costs $8 regardless of the number of t-shirts

b. What is the constant of proportionality of Value T’s and More? What does it represent?

$8 per t-shirt

f(c) = $8t

the function of total cost = $8 times the number of t-shirts ordered

c. How much is Print-o-Rama’s set-up fee?

using the high-low method

variable cost = ($375 - $95) / /50 - 10) = $7 per t-shirt

fixed cost (set-up fee) = $375 - (50 x $7) = $25

d. If you need to purchase 90 shirts, write a proposal to your teacher indicating which company the team should use. Be sure to support your choice. Determine the number of shirts that you need for your team.

purchasing 90 t-shirts at Print-o-Rama costs = $25 + (90 x $7) = $655

purchasing 90 t-shirts at Value T’s and More costs = 90 x $8 = $720

you should purchase the t-shirts at Print-o-Rama since the cost is lower.

step-by-step explanation:

mean or average is 40.6
