Joanne sells silk screened T-shirts at community festivals and craft fairs. Her marginal cost to produce one T-shirt is $3.50. Her total cost to produce 70 T-shirts is $305, and she sells
them for $7 each
a. Find the linear cost function for Joanne's T-shirt production
b. How many T-shirts must she produce and sell in order to break even?

a. The linear cost function is C(x)=
b. Joanne must produce and sell
c. Joanine must produce and sell
T-shirts in order to break even, because the number of T-shirts must be a whole number
