Question

timothy is planting a garden. Tulips cost $125 per bub. The total cost c of his gardening supplies is $1.25 per bub b plus $10 for a bag of mulch. What is the independent and dependent variables and the equation and solution!

Answer 1

Answer:

Independent variable = number of bub (b)

Dependent variable = total cost (c)

Equation: c = $1.25b + $10

Timothy would spend: $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = c

Number of bub = b

✔️Total cost, c, is dependent on the number of bub, b.

Therefore:

Independent variable = number of bub (b)

Dependent variable = total cost (c)

✔️Equation that describes this situation can be written as:

c = $1.25b + $10

✔️If Timorhy buys 8 bubs, he would spend the following:

Substitute b = 8 into c = $1.25b + $10, and solve for c.

c = $1.25(8) + $10

c = $10 + $10

c = $20
