Sawyer Dickson · Answer 1

Paula's Printing

Step-by-step explanation:

Paula's Printing would be the cheaper option between the two. Let's say you wanted to buy 3 shirts from Paula, you would pay $64.50 (21.50 x 3). With Shantay's, you would spend $54 (18 x 3) plus the $63 one-time-set-up fee. So in total, it would be $117.
