A group of students are trying to raise money for a school trip. They are designing logos to
put on T-shirts and caps. The printers charge
$80 printing fee plus $5 for each T-shirt and
$2 for each cap.
a) The students have a budget of $460. They
want to make a total of 100 T-shirts and
caps. Write a system of linear equations to
represent this information.
b) How many T-shirts and how many caps
can they make?
e) The group sells the T-shirts for $18 each
and the caps for $10 each. The T-shirts are
a hit; twice as many T-shirts are selling
than caps. What is the minimum number
of T-shirts and caps that must be sold in
order to break even?
d) How much profit will they make if they
sell all of their T-shirts and caps?
