Given the statement:
The environmental science club is printing T-shirts for it's 15 members. The printing company charges a certain amount for each shirt plus a setup fee of $20.
Determine the total charge per t-shirt if the total cost is $162.50
Solution:
Subtract 162.50 by 20, then divide the quotient by 15.
= $162.50 - 20
= $142.50
= $142.50/15
= $9.5
Divide 9.5 by 15 again to determine the charge per t-shirt.
= $9.5 / 15
= $0.6333..
Since we have a repeating decimal, we can either equate it with a repeating word enclosed with a parenthesis, a dash line or an ellipsis. In our case we will use the ellipsis.
Final answer:
The total charge per t-shirt is $0.6333.
