Solve The table shows the costs of a membership and fruit baskets at a discount warehouse club. Item Cost ($) Membership Fee 30 Fruit Basket 15 Mrs. Williams paid a total of $105 for her annual membership fee and several fruit baskets as gifts for her coworkers. Solve the equation 15x+30=105 to find the number of fruit baskets Mrs. Williams purchased.

PLS HELP!!! (AND HURRY)

Answer 1

The given equation is:

15x + 30 = 105

Here,

15x represents the total cost of the fruit baskets purchased, and

30 represents the cost of the membership fee.

To find the number of fruit baskets purchased (x), we must isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Subtracting 30 from both sides, we get:

15x = 105 - 30

15x = 75

Dividing both sides by 15, we get:

x = 5

Therefore, Mrs. Williams purchased 5 fruit baskets for her coworkers.
