Question

5. Michelle sells flowers for weddings. The

price she charges (P) can be approximated by
the equation: P = 40 + 12d , where d
represents how many dozens of flowers are
ordered. Ann paid Michelle $400 for the
flowers at her wedding. How many dozens of
flowers did Ann order?
A. 37
B. 30
C. 25
D. 22

Answer 1

B. 30

Explanation:

since Ann paid $400, you set the equation equal to 400

400=40+12d

Then you solve for d to find how many dozen of flowers Ann ordered.

400-40=12d

360=12d

360/12=d

d=30
