It looks like you're working on a problem involving the cost structures of two different shirt printing companies: **Master Ink** and **Totally Tee's**. Let's break down the information and write the corresponding equations for each company. ### Given: - **Master Ink** - **Flat Rate:** \$35 - **Cost per Shirt:** \$5 - **Totally Tee's** - **Flat Rate:** \$20 - **Cost per Shirt:** \$8 ### Let: - \( x \) = Number of shirts ordered - \( C \) = Total cost ### Equations: 1. **Master Ink's Total Cost** The total cost for Master Ink consists of a flat rate plus a variable cost per shirt: \[ C = 35 + 5x \] - **\$35** is the flat rate. - **\$5x** represents the cost for \( x \) shirts. 2. **Totally Tee's Total Cost** Similarly, the total cost for Totally Tee's is a flat rate plus a variable cost per shirt: \[ C = 20 + 8x \] - **\$20** is the flat rate. - **\$8x** represents the cost for \( x \) shirts. ### Summary: - **Master Ink:** \( C = 35 + 5x \) - **Totally Tee's:** \( C = 20 + 8x \) These equations allow you to calculate the total cost based on the number of shirts you intend to print.
