Question

Roes bushes cost $5 and tomato plant cost $2. Write an expression that represent the show the total cost for any number of rose bushes and tomato plant

Answer 1

Expression that represent the show the total cost for any number of rose bushes and tomato plant is:

$Total\ cost = 5x + 2y$

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of roses bush

Let "y" be the number of tomato plant

Cost of 1 rose bush = $ 5

Cost of 1 tomato plant = $ 2

To find: Expression that represent the show the total cost for any number of rose bushes and tomato plant

Total cost = number of roses bush x Cost of 1 rose bush + number of tomato plant x Cost of 1 tomato plant

$Total\ cost = x \times 5 + y \times 2\\\\Total\ cost = 5x + 2y$

Thus the expression is found where, x and y are the number of rose bush and tomoato plant bought respectively
