Answer

The total cost of ordering $26$ shirts is $\$430.8$

Work Step by Step

We have $x=26$. Use the second equation. $c(x)=15.80x+20,$ if $25\leq x \lt 50$ Substitute $26$ for $x$. $\Rightarrow c(26)=15.80(26)+20$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow c(26)=410.8+20$ $\Rightarrow c(26)=430.8$ Hence, the total cost of ordering $26$ shirts is $\$430.8$
