A landscaper receives a discount on each plant purchased. The original price of each plant is x dollars. The landscaper purchase
1 answer:
Answer:
$4
Step-by-step explanation:
Discount is a form of consideration in price or amount given to a customer on a sale of goods. It can be deduced from the question that;
The original price of each plant = $x
Number of plants purchased = 20
Price of the number of plants purchased without discount = $20x
Amount paid for the 20 plants with discount = $(20x - 80)
Thus,
The discount on the 20 plants = $80
Discount on each plant =
=
= $4
Discount on each plant = $4
Therefore, each plant was discounted by $4.

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
