Question

A landscaping company placed three orders with a nursery. The first order was for bushes, trees, and bundles of flowers, and totaled $579. The second order was for bushes, trees, and bundles of flowers, and totaled $272 . The third order was for bushes, trees, and bundles or flowers, and totaled $548. The bills do not list the price per item. What was the cost per bush, tree and bundle of flowers?

Answer 1

To find the cost per bush, tree, and bundle of flowers, divide the total cost of each order by the number of each item ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost per bush, tree, and bundle of flowers, we need to divide the total cost of each order by the number of each item ordered.

First, let's find the cost per item in the first order:

Bushes: $579 / (number of bushes in the first order)

Trees: $579 / (number of trees in the first order)

Bundles of flowers: $579 / (number of bundles of flowers in the first order)

Repeat the same process for the second and third orders to find the cost per item in each order.

By calculating the cost per item for each order, we can find the average cost per item across all the orders.
