Answer:
C=1.75f+3.5
Explanation:
Mrs. Patton planned to place a
fence around her vegetable garden. The fencing costs $1.75 per yard. She buys f yards of fencing.
Hence cost of fencing =1.75f
Also she paid, $3.50 in tax which is fixed . Hence the total cost of the fencing will be
1.75f+3.5
Hence the equation to represent the situation will be
C=1.75f+3.5
If the total cost is $73.50
73.50=1.75f+3.5
1.75f=70
Dividing both sides by 1.75
f=40.
Hence for 40 yards the cost of fencing was $73.50
