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.
Answer:
1 pear = $0.45
1 mango = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
8 pears + 5 mangoes = $11.10 ➡ 8p + 5m = 11.10
5 pears + 4 mangoes = $8.25 ➡ 5p + 4m = 8.25
multiply first equation by -4 and second one by 5
-4 ×(8p+5m) = 11.10 ➡ -32p - 20m = 44.4
5 ×(5p+4m) = 8.25 ➡ 25p + 20m = 41.25
add both equations up
-32p - 20m + 25p + 20m = 44.4 + 41.25
-7p = 3.15 ➡ p = $0.45
use this value to find the price of mango
5×0.45 + 4×m = 8.25 ➡ 2.25 + 4m = 8.25 ➡ 4m = 6 ➡ m = $1.5
