The landscaping project

Question

The total budget for a landscaping project was $349.02, and the project called for 42 plants. What is the average cost per plant? Explain the method used for solving the problem.

Answer 1

Well, if the project called for 42 plants and the total was 349.02, then we would simply divide 349.02 by 42. That would get us $8.31 per plant. Simply put, I just assumed that the project was a total planting project and so I just divided the price by the number of plants. Thank you!
