Question

A landscape company ordered 17 plants and 8 trees for a total of $964. If plants are $12 each, write and solve a linear equation to find the cost for each tree.

Answer 1

95$

Explanation

17p+8t=964

p=12

17(12) + 8t = 964

204 + 8t = 964

Subtract 204 from both sides

8t = 760

Divide both sides by 8

t = 95

Each Tree Costs 95
