Question

The total cost of a vase of spring flowers at a flower shop depends on the number of flowers ordered. Each flower costs $2.50. Which equation represents the relationship between the total cost, y, to the number of flowers, x?

Answer 1

D. y=2.50x

Explanation:

Since the equation asks for the total cost of a vase of flowers (y) that goes on the left side. Each flower costs 2.50 and the flower shop depends on the number of flowers ordered, which makes it a variable. Therefore C is wrong because it has 2.50 as a constant.

The ending equation will be y = 2.50x

Written in context this means that the total cost of a vase of flowers is equal to the cost of each flower (2.50) by how many flowers are ordered.

I hope this helps!!
