1) 480 / 12 = $40
2) 252 * .37 = 93.24
3) 12 * .37 = $4.44, 12 + 4.44 = $16.44
4) 150 * .23 = $34.50 saved, 150 - 34.50 = $115.50

It depends. What are the expected sales of T-shirts? If x represents the number sold Wonder shirts will cost 4x Miracle shirts will cost 3x + 75 ==> x = 75 is the break-even point. If x < 75 Wonder is the best deal If x = 75 they are the same cost If x > 75 Miracle is the best deal
