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.
