Larry needed 3- bags of mulch for his rose garden. He is only ready to put mulch on three fourths of his rose garden. How much will Larry spend on mulch if each bag costs $3.25?

Since Larry needs 3 bags of mulch and each bag costs $3.25, the total cost of the mulch will be 3 × $3.25 = 9.75$

Larry is only ready to put mulch on 3/4 of his rose garden, so he will need 3/4 × $9.75 = 7.31$

answer: 7.31$
