A company charges $68.25 for 3 trees and 4 bushes. The company charges $5.25 more for a tre than a bush. How much does each bush cost?

Question

Don't have any other details

Answer 1

Let x represent the cost of a bush. then the cost of a tree is x+5.25.  It follows that

 

4x+3(x+5.25)=68.25

4x+3x+15.75=68.25

7x=52.5

 

x=7.5

 

So each bush costs $7.50.
