Hi, dearest teachers, professors and Math buffs:
A friend of mine sent me this problem. I asked him if he was sure this was the real problem. He said he copied it from someone else. I was not going to post it, because I do not understand why the t-shirts have two different prices. But I am curious. Caveat: According to him the wording is just fine. For what is worth, here it is:
The school drama club is planning to sell t-shirts at a musical production. The cost of the t-shirts is a one-time screening fee of $150 plus $6 per t-shirt ordered. Club members plan to sell each shirt for $15 dollars. What is the minimum number of t-shirts they need to sell in order to make a profit of $900 dollars?
Given
cost of the t-shirt =150 dollars fir a screening fee plus 6 dollars if a shirt is ordered.
club members want to sell each shirt for 15 dollars.
Thanks for your help!
