Question

Gabriella and Molly each improved their yards by planting hostas and ornamental grass.They bought their supplies from the same store. Gabriella spent $284 on 9 hotas and 46 bunches of ornamental grass. Molly spent $79 on 9 hostas and 5 bunches of ornamental grass. Find the cost of one hosta and the cost of one bunch of ornamental grass.

Hostas cost $____ and ornamental grass costs ____

Answer 1

9h+46b = 284

9h + 5b = 79

subtract the two equatios

41b = 205

b = 205/41 = $5 per bunch

h = (79-25)/9= 54/9 = $6 per hota

9(6) +46(5)

=54+230 = 284

9(6)+5(5)

=54+25

=79
