Question

Katherine is landscaping her home with juniper trees and pansies. She wants to arrange 15 pansies around each of 8 trees. Each tree costs $20.75 and a six-pack of pansies costs $2.50. Explain how to write an expression to find Katherine’s final cost

Answer 1

The expression that signifies Katherine’s final cost F= P + T= $466

Calculation of final cost

The number of pansies to be arranged around each tree = 15 pansies

The cost of pansies(P) = 15 × 8 × 2.50 = $300

The number of juniper trees available = 8

The cost of the trees available(T) = 8 × 20.75= $166

Therefore Katherine's final cost(F)= $300 + $166 = $466

The expression to find Katherine’s final cost = F= P + T
