Question

Tammy is ordering graphic T-shirts for her gaming club. Each shirt costs $11, and there is also a shipping fee of $19 for the whole order.Write an equation that shows the relationship between x, the number of T-shirts that Tammy orders, and y, the total cost of the order.y=

Answer 1

To express the total cost \( y \) of the order in relation to the number of T-shirts \( x \), we recognize that each T-shirt costs $11 and there is a fixed shipping fee of $19.

The total cost can be calculated using the formula:
\[
y = 11x + 19
\]

Where:
- \( y \) is the total cost,
- \( x \) is the number of T-shirts ordered,
- \( 11x \) represents the cost of the T-shirts,
- \( 19 \) is the shipping fee.

Thus, the equation that shows the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) is:
\[
y = 11x + 19
\]
