The rule for the function p(t) that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied can be written as:
p(t) = 8.25t - 5.00
To calculate how much you would pay for 11 shirts during Bargain Days, substitute t = 11 into the function:
p(11) = 8.25(11) - 5.00
= 90.75 - 5.00
= $85.75
Therefore, you would pay $85.75 for 11 shirts during Bargain Days.
