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.
a. Write a rule for the function p(4) that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied.
b. How much would you pay during Bargain Days for 11 shirts?
(2 points)
a. The rule for the function p(t) that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied is:
p(t) = (8.25 - 5) * t
b. To find out how much you would pay for 11 shirts during Bargain Days, substitute t = 11 into the function:
p(11) = (8.25 - 5) * 11
p(11) = 3.25 * 11
p(11) = $<<3.25*11=35.75>>35.75
So, you would pay $35.75 for 11 shirts during Bargain Days.
