Alanna purchases 12 packets of vegetable seeds, 15 packets of flower seeds, and 9 bags of topsoil. Each packet of vegetable seeds costs $1.50, each packet of flower seeds costs $2.20, and each bag of topsoil costs $12.10.how much does she pay for all of the seeds and topsoil

Answer 1

Answer: $159.90

Explanation:

Assigning a variable: V=Vegetable seeds F=Flower seeds T=Top soil

Assigning a value to each variable: V=1.5 F=2.2 T=12.1

The equation:

v(12)+f(15)+t(9)=

1.5(12)+2.2(15)+12.1(9)=

1.5*12=18 2.2*15=33 12.1*9=108.9

18+33+108.9=159.9

Total cost = $159.90

Hope this helps!
