We are given
selling price of one flower is $0.50
so,
Let's assume
she sold 'n' flowers to get $20
so, total amount she get after selling 'n' flowers is
This is supposed to be $20
so, we can set it equal to 20
now, we can solve for n
we get
we are given
she makes $6.00 on every $20 worth sold
so, we can find cost of 40 flowers is 20-6
total cost is 14
or cost of 40 flowers is $14
now, we can find cost of one flower
so, cost of each flower is 35 cents...............Answer
Answer:
Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> amount paid to Jessica
y ----> amount paid to Lauren
z ----> amount paid to Kimmie
we know that
------> equation A
-----> equation B
-----> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y
<em>Find the value of x</em>
<em>Find the value of z</em>
therefore
The amount paid to Jessica was $24
The amount paid to Lauren was $36
The amount paid to Kimmie was $60
To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.
therefore
Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
