Becky Shelton, a teacher at Kemp Middle School, is in charge of ordering the T-shirts to be sold for the schools annual fund-raising project. The T-shirts are printed with a special Kemp School logo. In some years, the supply of T-shirts has been insufficient to satisfy the number of sales orders. In other years, T-shirts have been left over. Excess T-shirts are normally donated to some charitable organization. T-shirts cost the school $5 each and are normally sold for $12 each. Ms. Shelton has decided to order 700 shirts.
