Question

A customer purchases a 5 pound bag of potting soil for $10.49, 3 rose bushes at $5.23 per bush and a garden how much for

for $15.85.

Answer 1

each bag of potting soil is worth 2.09 and each rose bush is 1.04 so just add up till you get 15.85 good luck 

Answer 2

`x-31.57` where x is the initial amount of money

Explanation:

We have to add all of the items.

`\$10.49+\$5.23+\$15.85=\$31.57`

Then i think that some information is missing, but for the possible answers I guess that you have x amount of money to buy the thing and need to find how much money is left.

for this you just need to take that quantity x and subtract $31.57
