Unit 2 week 5 prep

Question

The entrepreneurship club is ordering potted plants for all 36 sponsors.One store charges $8.50 for each plant a delivery cost $20 .The equation 320=x+7.50(36) represents the cost of ordering potted plants at the second store

What does x represent in this situation

A;The cost for each plotted plants at the second store

B;The delivery at the second store

C.The total cost of ordering potted plants at the second store

Answer 1

We're given 320=x+7.50(36) for 36 plants. This makes me assume that 36 plants, times $7.50 each, plus some cost for delivery totals $320. x is the delivery cost.

The first store, to continue the example, would cost P dollars with the equation 8.50(36) +20=P.

I hope this helps!

Happy mathing :)
