A placebo is a fake put into place in order to make a user believe something is happening when it is not.
Step-by-step explanation:
A placebo is a fake put into place in order to make a user believe something is happening when it is not. This is used often in medicine, where a doctor may tell a patient they are receiving treatment for some condition, but in fact they are getting nothing. Often times this can actually make a change for the patient due to simply believing they are getting treatment. The placebo effect is also used in Statistics, with 2 groups, one getting the treatment, and one simply receiving a placebo. This is helpful because it shows the effect of treatment or medication more accurately.
If Shelly wants 6 rose bushes, and each bush costs $40, then you can multiply 6 by 40 to find the total amount of money Shelly will spend on them if she plants them herself. 6 x 40 = 240. You can then subtract 240 from 600 to find the amount of money she saves. 600 - 240 = 360
