Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost for producing x number of shirts = 100 + 7x

The price of each shirt is $15, therefore:

Revenue = price per shirt × number of shirts = 15 × x = 15x

Revenue = 15x

The cost of making 25 shirts is given as:

Cost = 100 + 7x = 100 + 7(25) = $275

The money earned from producing 25 shirts is given as:

Revenue = 15x = 15(25) = $375

Since the revenue is greater than cost, the students would make more money than they spent if they make and sell exactly 25 shirts
