A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $12.50 and 5 shrubs. The total bill was $62.50. Write and solve an equation to find the price

Question

of each shrub

Answer 1

Hy Willow,

 

The equation that we can come up with in order to find the price of each shrub would be :

 

12.50 + 5s = 62.50

 

S in this case is the variable assigned to find the value of each shrub 

 

5s = 62.50 - 12.50

 

5s = 50

 

s = 10

 

The price of each shrub would be $10. Hope I was helpful and good luck with questions of this type. 

 

 

Regards,
