The cost of each t-shirt is $7, using the equation formed from the given conditions.
In the question, we are given that the drama club is printing t-shirts for its members. The printing company charges a certain amount for each shirt plus a setup fee of $40.
We are aske to find the cost of each t-shirt if there are 21 students in the club and the t-shirt order costs a total of $187.
We assume the cost of one t-shirt to be $x.
Thus, the cost of printing 21 t-shirts = $21x.
The setup fee is given to be $40.
Thus, the total cost of printing 21 t-shirts for the dram club = $21x + 40.
But, we are given that the total cost is $187.
Thus, we get an equation,
21x + 40 = 187.
This equation can be solved as follows:
21x + 40 = 187,
or, 21x = 187 - 40,
or, 21x = 147,
or, x = 147/21,
or, x = 7.
Thus, the cost of each t-shirt is $7, using the equation formed from the given conditions.
