Hey there,
Your question states: <span>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.
So, I will do 94.75 minus 11.50 because he bought nice scrubs so that would be 83.25.
I will do 83.25 divided by 9 because that's the number that person bought, each scrub will end up to be 9.25.
Hope this helps.

Answer: 80%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the parentheses by 2/3. 9=2/3x+8.
Multiply both sides by 3 . 27=2x+24
Move the term. When moved to the left side it changes from positive to a negative. -2x=24-27.
-2x=-3
Divide both sides by -2
x=3/2 (x=1 1/2, x=1.5)
<h3>Solution :</h3>
By cross multiply, we get
Therefore, answer is 
Percentage decrease = d
h1 = 2950
h2 = 2550
d/100 = (h2-h1)/h1
d/100 = (2950-2550)/2950
d=13.56
