running shoes in lots 50 or fewer pairs can be bought for 18 dollars per pair. the price decreases by 1.5 cents per pair for the excess over 50 pairs bought at one time up to 400 pairs. how many pairs can be bought for 4464 dollars.
-------------------------------
Cost(x pairs) = 1800x + 1.5(x-50)
446400 = 1800x + 1.5x - 75
1798.5x = 446475
x = 248.25 pairs

Comment: This is probably wrong but it is the answer
to the problem you have posted.
