Question

The equation 320=x+7.50(36) represents the cost of ordering potted plants at a second store.

What does the x represent in this situation?

Answer 1

x=number of potted plants

Answer 2

I would say it's the amount of potted plants.

Explanation:

x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. Y counts on x, so total cost counts on the amount of potted plants.
