To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation,
                                 $11.50 + 9p = $94.75
The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter C.

Let

p---------> the price of each scrub

s----------> the price of the potting soil

T--------> total bill

we know that

T=9p+s

in this problem

T=\$94.75\\ s=\$11.50\\p=?

<u>substitute the values in the formula above </u>

\$94.75=9p+\$11.50

solve for p

9p=94.75-11.50

9p=83.25

p=9.25

therefore

<u>the answer is the option C</u>

\$94.75=9p+\$11.50

p=9.25

This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
