Question

Marisa is buying a vase of red roses for Mother's day. The florist charges $12.00 for a vase Marisa selected plus $4.75 per rose. Determine an equation to represent the cost of the bouquet, C, in terms of the number of roses in the bouquet, r. If Marisa has saved $55 to get her Mother's Day bouquet, how many roses can she have the florist put in the vase?​

Answer 1

8 Roses

Explanation:

Y = 15 + 4.50X

51 = 15 + 4.50X

51 - 15 = 4.50X

36 = 4.50 X

360 = 45x

360/45 = x

x = 8
