Answer:
The number of wreaths Alaina sells is 9 .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
Alaina is selling wreaths and poinsettias for her chorus fundraiser.
Wreaths cost $27 each poinsettia cost $20 each.
If she sold 15 poinsettias and made $543.
Let us assume that the number of wreaths Alaina sells = x
As the number of poinsettias Alaina sells = 15
Than the equation becomes
27x + 15 × 20 = 543
27x + 300 = 543
27x = 543 - 300
27x = 243
x = 9
Therefore the number of wreaths Alaina sells is 9 .
