Question

Juanita is planting a flower garden. She wants to plant 24 tulips, and twice as many daffodils as tulips. A tulip plant costs $3 . A daffodil plant costs $2. What is the total cost of the tulip and daffodil plants?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost is $\ 168$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of tulips

y-----> the number of daffodils

C-----> the total cost

we know that

$x=24\ tulips$

$y=2x$

substitute the value of x

$y=2(24)=48\ daffodils$

Find the total cost

$C=3x+2y$

substitute

$C=3(24)+2(48)=\ 168$
