Question

PLEASE HELP. EXPLAIN STEP-BY-STEP. WILL GIVE MEDAL. A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $11.50 and 9 shrubs. The total bill was $94.75. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

let the price of 1 shrub be x
so 94.75= cost of soil + 9 shurbs
94.75=11.50+9x
9x=83.25
x=9.25 which is the price of each shurb

@skullpatrol Not in the slightest..I'm literally so lost. Oh, I might wanna add the possible answers. I don't know where to even begin.

Answer 9

Ok I'm totally lost with this. It looks like gibberish to me. Math has always been my VERY weak point.

Answer 10

Any ideas?

Answer 11

Ummm..Well, I think that I'm supposed to explain why steps b and d are correct..so I guess I'll take a shot. For Step B, I feel like it is correct because seven was subtracted from both sides. And I think that's what they were supposed to do.

Answer 12

Yes, you are correct.

Answer 13

That is called the subtraction property of equality.

Answer 14

Alright, so, then I'ma take a shot at why Step D is correct. For Step D...Didn't they take the two from y/2 and put it on both sides, the same way they did in Step B?

Answer 15

Oh. Let me write that down, haha. Subtraction Property Of Equality.So Step D would be the..

Answer 16

Alright.. Step B: Subtraction Property Of Equality. Step D: Multiplication Property Of Equality?

Answer 17

Correct :D

Answer 18

Oh my gosh, yay :D

Answer 19

Whatever you do to one side you can do to the other, to keep it balanced. GREAT work!

Answer 20

This question kinda screwed me up..Not sure what to make of it..Of course. Because math is so confuzzling to me lol. Oh, thank you :)

Answer 21

I know that it will be two weeks to start with because that's how long it will take to pay his sister..But then I'm not sure how to figure out the rest of the amount of weeks. Wouldn't I just add 45 until I reached 500?

Answer 22

I think that I got 11 weeks..Or 13..I'm not sure. Let me recount haha.

Answer 23

$$585\div 45=13 \text{ weeks}$$

Answer 24

Oh, so I was kind of right haha.

Answer 25

Oh wait but the amount is 500 not 585

Answer 26

Or does that matter? Is it still 585 because that's the closest thing?

Answer 27

bike + loan = 585

Answer 28

pay check = $45/week

Answer 29

$$\frac{585}{45}=\text{weeks needed}$$

Answer 30

ohhhhhh

Answer 31

The number of times 45 goes into 585 tells you how many weeks

Answer 32

Yeah, I got that now, thank you :) :D This problem doe..It's a monster..
