Answer: The number of shirts you can order = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of shirts

At T-Shirts R Us,

Total cost = 50+1.50x

At T-Shirt Planet,

Total cost = 75+x

As per given, when the cost at both companies is the same then

[tex]1.50x+50=x+70\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x-x=70-50\\\\\Rightarrow 0.50x=20\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{20}{0.50}=40[/tex]

Hence, the number of shirts you can order = 40
