Question

The total cost of a vase of spring flowers at a flower shop depends on the number of flowers ordered. The vase costs $3, and each flower costs $2.50. what equation can be used to find c, the total cost of the vase with f flowers? write the equation in the form of y=mx+b

Answer 1

y = 2.50x + 3

Explanation:

In this case 2.50 is the variable (which means that x goes with it) because to find the total cost of the flowers you would have to multiply 2.50 by the total number of flowers ordered.

Since there is only 1 vase and this price does not vary it is the constant.

Therefore the equation can be written like this:

y = 2.50x + 3

I hope this helps!!
