During a clothing store’s Bargain Days, the regular price for T-shirts is discounted to $8.25. You have an additional coupon for $5.00 off, regardless of how many shirts are purchased.
Write a rule for the function p left parenthesis t right parenthesis that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied.
How much would you pay during Bargain Days for 11 shirts?
The rule for the function p(t) that expresses the final price of t T-shirts with the discount applied would be:
p(t) = (regular price - discount per shirt) * t
In this case, the regular price is $8.25 and the additional coupon provides a discount of $5.00, regardless of the number of shirts purchased. Therefore, the discount per shirt is $5.00.
Using this rule, we can calculate the final price for 11 shirts:
p(11) = (8.25 - 5.00) * 11
= 3.25 * 11
= $35.75
Therefore, during Bargain Days, you would pay $35.75 for 11 shirts.
