Answer:
trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Rita paid $82 for 5 trees and 1 shrub
5x+y= 82---------1
Lilly bought 2 trees and 1 shrub for $37
2x+y= 37----------2
from 1
y= 82-5x
put the value of y in 2
2x+82-5x= 37
2x-5x= 37-82
-3x=-45
x= 45/3
x=$15
put the value of x in 1
5(x)+y= 82
5*15+y=82
75+y=82
y=82-75
y=$7
Hence, trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Answer:
Each student would get 4 inches of ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Barkley has 75 inches of ribbon and is splitting it between 18 students so you would divide 75 by 18. When you divide you get 4.166666... etc. So the answer would be 4
the simple equation you have to do is
0.15 x 50,000 or 15% of 50,000 of which both equations will result in 7500
