Question 1208991: The Greenville Tigers are having team shirts made. One option is to pay Stacy's Tees a $40 setup fee and then buy the shirts for $8 each. Another option is to go to City Printing, paying $30 for a setup fee and an additional $10 per shirt. The team parent in charge of the project notices that, with a certain number of shirts, the two options will have the same cost. What is the cost?

n number of shirts

8n%2B40=10n%2B30
2n=10
n=5

cost for those 5 shirts must be 8%2A5%2B40=80 dollars or 10%2A5%2B30=80 dollars.
