Definition
A piecewise function is a function that is
defined on a sequence of intervals.
ƒ(x) =
{ 2x + 5 if x ≤ 0
2x
x+2
if 0 < x < 50
if x ≥ 50

 Thomas is planning to sell T shirts as a fundraiser. The wholesale t-shirt
supplier charges ₱95 for the first 75 shirts. After 75 t-shirts he
purchased up to 150 shirts, the supplier will lower his price to ₱80 per
shirt. After he purchased more than 150 shirts, the price will decrease
to ₱60 per shirt.
a. Write a Piece-wise function that models this situation.
b. How much would be the total cost be if he buys 80 shirts?
c. How much would the total cost be if he buys 220 shirts?
d. If the total cost was ₱20,000, how many shirts were purchased?
