Answer to Problem 30PPS
The total cost for 9 warm-up jackets will be $154.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: the baseball team wants warm-up jackets with team logo on front and player’s name on the back. The artwork setup cost=$10, cost per jacket =$10, artwork cost on front =$4 and name imprints cost =$2. Extra discount on order of 11 or more and additional $15 off on order of 20 jackets or more.
Calculation:
For each order placed here are the following cost
Setup cost=$10
Total cost for 1 jacket = cost per jacket+ artwork cost on front + name imprints cost on back
Hence the cost for 9 warm-up jackets will be
The total cost for 9 warm-up jackets will be $154.
b

Explanation of Solution
Given information: the baseball team wants warm-up jackets with team logo on front and player’s name on the back. The artwork setup cost=$10, cost per jacket =$10, artwork cost on front =$4 and name imprints cost =$2. Extra discount on order of 11 or more and additional $15 off on order of 20 jackets or more.
Calculation:
For each order placed here are the following cost
Setup cost=$10
Total cost for 1 jacket = cost per jacket+ artwork cost on front + name imprints cost on back
Also let the extra discount percentage be x% and for every order of above 20 jackets there is an additional $15 less from the total cost
Therefore the total cost for 30 warm-up jackets will be
After the extra x % discount the total cost will be
And the additional $15 off for every order above 20 will give the total cost
Since the team only has $455 so the total cost must be such that it at least meet this amount and for that the minimum value of x will be
Hence the minimum discount percentage is 5%.
