Question

. Natalie works for a florist. She charges $32 per day to make 12 bouquets. For every additional bouquet that she makes, she charges $1.40. The equation below represents this situation, where E is her total earning in dollars, in a day when she makes b additional bouquets. = 32 + 1.40 How many additional bouquets will she have to make so that she earns at least $60 in a day?

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

E = 32 + 1.40b

Since E is earnings, set E equal to $60 and solve for b for bouquets.

60 = 32 + 1.40b

60 - 32 = (32 + 1.40b) - 32

28 = 1.40b

28/1.4 = (1.40b)/1.40

20 = b

Natalie needs to make 20 additional bouquets.
