Question

Jack and Anjali each improved their yards by planting hostas and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same nursery. Jack spent $138 on 6 hostas and 6 geraniums. Anjali spent $116 on 6 hostas and 4 geraniums. Find the cost of one geranium

Answer 1

11$

Explanation:

We will use simultaneous equation

X = hostas

Y = geraniums

6X + 6Y = 138 ----> (first equation)

6X + 4Y = 116 -----> (second equation)

(Substract)

6X + 6Y = 138

6X + 4Y = 116

2Y = 22

Y = 22/2

Y = 11$

I hope my answer helps you.
