Question

A company charges $211.25 for 5 trees and 15 shrubs. The company charges $15.25 more for a tree than a shrub. How much does each shrub cost? (8.EE.8c)
a. $6.75
b. $7.75
c. $19.25
d. $22.00
PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THE EQUATION AND THE STEPS AND THE ANSWER?

Answer 1

(a+15.25)=x cost of each tree
(a•15)=110 cost of all the shrub
(x•5)= 101.25 cost of all trees
110+101.25= 211.25

equatiin all together
[(a+15.25)×5]+(a×15)=211.25
