(Student Name)
Beginning Details End Goal

My starting amount: I want to:

$100 Purchase an iPad

My product being sold: It costs:

T-shirts $330
Forming an Equation

● Each t-shirt (t) will cost $5 to make

● Each t-shirt (t) will be sold for $20 each
● I begin with $100
● P will represent profit
P = -5t + 20t + 100
P = 15t + 100
Creating a Graph

This shows the amount

of profit per t-shirts sold.
P = 15t + 100
By looking at the graph,
we can see that the
output 330 is reached by
an input of about 16.
Conclusion

To find the exact amount of t-shirts needed to be sold, we can use our equation.
15t + 100 = 330
15t = 230
t ≅ 15.33
To make a profit of $330 or more, I will need to sell at least 16 t-shirts.
