Answer:

The cost of one rose is $11., and the cost of one geranium is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one rose bush and one geranium can be determined by the use of simultaneous equation. Let the cost of a rose bush be represented by x, and the cost of one geranium by y.

So that,

13x + y = 148 .............. 1

9x + 14 y = 169 ............... 2

From eqaution 1,

y = 148 - 13x ............... 3

substitute the value of y in equation 2

9x + 14(148 - 13x) = 169

9x + 2072 - 182x = 169

2072 - 169 = 182x - 9x

1903 = 173x

x = \frac{1903}{173}

  = 11

x = 11

substitute the value of x in equation 3

y = 148 - 13x

  = 148 - 13(11)

  = 148 - 143

y = 5

x = 11, y = 5

Thus, the cost of one rose is $11., and the cost of one geranium is $5.

You pawn a guitar and receive $880. One month later, you get the guitar back by paying $1250. If this is simple interest, then w
Lemur [1.5K]
Interest=1250-880=370
I=PRT
P=principal
r=rate in deicmal
t=time in years

1 month so t=1/12
P=880
I=370

370=880*r*1/12
370=220/3r
times both sides by 3
1110=220r
divdie both sides by 220
