Question

A landscape supply business charges $35 to deliver mulch the cost of the mulches 29 per cubic yard right and solve a linear equation to find the cost of having 6 cubic yards of mulch delivered to a site

Answer 1

Landscape supply business will take
`\$ 209` to deliver 6 cubic yard of mulch at the site.

Explanation:

Given:

A landscape supply business charges
`\$35` to deliver mulch.

∴Fixed charge =
`\$35`

Rate of Per cubic yard of mulch =
`\$29`

Let the number of cubic yard be
`x`

Total Cost =Fixed charges + Rate of Per cubic yard of mulch
`*` number of cubic yard

Total Cost =
`\$35 +\$29x`

We need to find total cost to deliver 6 cubic yard of mulch at site
`x=6`.

Total Cost to deliver 6 cubic yard of mulch at site =
`\$35 + \$29 * 6 = \$35 + \$ 174 = \$ 209`
