Question

Fragrant Fields Greenhouse sells rose bushes for $19.90 each. Last weekend, they made $477.60 on rose bushes. How many rose bushes did they sell?

Answer 1

Fragrant Fields Greenhouse sold 24 rose bushes.

Explanation:

We know that:

1 rose bush = $19.90

And last weekend, the company ended up making $477.60 on rose bushes.

An equation that can represent this situation is:

19.90x = 477.60

To find x, divide:

477.60 ÷ 19.90 = 24

CHECK IT:

19.90(24) = 477.6

That is also $477.60, in terms of money

THEREFORE, the company sold 24 rose bushes.

Hope this helps!
