During a clothing store’s Bargain Days, the regular price for T-shirts is discounted to $8.25. You have an additional coupon for $5.00 off, regardless of how many shirts are purchased.
1. Write a rule for the function that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied.
2. How much would you pay during Bargain Days for 11 shirts?
1. The rule for the function that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied can be written as:
Final price (t) = (Regular price - Discount) * t
where:
- Regular price = $8.25 (discounted price per T-shirt)
- Discount = $5.00 (coupon off, regardless of the number of shirts)
- t = number of T-shirts
2. To find out how much you would pay during Bargain Days for 11 shirts, substitute the value of t into the function:
Final price (11) = (8.25 - 5.00) * 11
Final price (11) = 3.25 * 11
Final price (11) = $35.75
Therefore, you would pay $35.75 during Bargain Days for 11 shirts.
