The equation that represents the cost from Designer B is

1 answer

To represent the total cost for each T-Shirt designer based on the number of shirts ordered (x), we can write the following equations:

  1. For T-Shirt Designer A: \( y = 20 + 12.5x \)

  2. For T-Shirt Designer B: \( y = 30 + 10x \)

So, the equations are:

  • Cost for Designer A: \( y = 20 + 12.5x \)
  • Cost for Designer B: \( y = 30 + 10x \)
