Shelly wants to have 6 rose bushes planted on her property. She asked a landscaping company to give her a bid. The contractor wa
nted $600 to buy and plant the bushes. Shell thinks she can do it by herself and save money. The bushes cost $40 each. How much will Shelly save by planting the bushes herself? (answer in only numbers) $
im pretty sure its $360 because each bush is 40, 40x6=240. The contracter wants 600 when the bushes only cost $240 altogether. take 600 and subtract 240. you get 360:). hope that helps!!
If Shelly wants 6 rose bushes, and each bush costs $40, then you can multiply 6 by 40 to find the total amount of money Shelly will spend on them if she plants them herself. 6 x 40 = 240. You can then subtract 240 from 600 to find the amount of money she saves. 600 - 240 = 360
