To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation,
$11.50 + 9p = $94.75
The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter C.
D.3:50
Count back 25 minutes from 4:15 and you’ll get 3:50. The numbers on the clock are 5 minutes apart. It should be easy to solve just by using a standard clock
