Question

Melissa works for a florist. She used her employee discount to purchase 10 roses at $1.00 each. If melissa saved $4.00 by using her employee discount, what is the regular price if one rose purchased from the florist?

Answer 1

Answer: $1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Discounted price roses = $1

Amount saved = $4

Regular price - discounted price = amount saved

x - 10(1) = 4

x - 10 = 4

x = 4 + 10

x = $14

Regular price of 10 roses = $14

Regular price per rose = $14 / 10 = $1.4
