Strategy How much more money do 10 t-shirts cost than 6 t-shirts.
T-Shirts Cost
1 $8
3 $24
5 $40
If they are $8 each,
(10-6) * 8 = ?
To determine how much more money 10 t-shirts cost than 6 t-shirts, we can first find the cost for each t-shirt. By looking at the given table, we can observe that the cost of the t-shirts increases linearly.
We can calculate the cost per t-shirt by finding the difference in cost between t-shirts with consecutive numbers:
- The difference between 1 t-shirt and 3 t-shirts is $24 - $8 = $16.
- Therefore, the cost per t-shirt is $16 / (3 - 1) = $8.
- Likewise, the difference between 3 t-shirts and 5 t-shirts is $40 - $24 = $16.
Now that we know the cost per t-shirt is $8, we can find the cost for 6 t-shirts by multiplying the cost per t-shirt by the quantity:
- The cost for 6 t-shirts is $8 * 6 = $48.
Next, we can find the cost for 10 t-shirts using the same method:
- The difference between 5 t-shirts and 10 t-shirts is also $16.
- Therefore, the cost for 10 t-shirts is $40 + $16 = $56.
To determine how much more money 10 t-shirts cost than 6 t-shirts, we can subtract the cost of 6 t-shirts from the cost of 10 t-shirts:
- $56 - $48 = $8.
Therefore, 10 t-shirts cost $8 more than 6 t-shirts.
