A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $17.50 and 4 shrubs. The total bill was $53.50. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.


A. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $9.00

B. 4p + 17.5p = $53.50; p = $2.49

C. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $11.25

D. 4(p + $17.50) = $53.50; p = $4.00

Answer 1

Answer: A. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $9.00

1: 17.50+4p= Nothing further can be done with this topic. Please check the expression entered or try another topic.

17.5 + 4 p

2: 4p=53.50-17.50= 4p=53.50-17.50

Step-by-step explanation: 9

The total bill: $53.50

17.50 + 4 x = 53.50

4 x = 53.50 - 17.50

4 x = 36

x = 36 : 4

x = $9

Answer: The price of each shrub is $9.

Answer:

$9

Explanation:

Let be the price of each shrub.

4 shrubs at each costs dollars

Potting soil is $17.50
