A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $12.50 and 5 shrubs. The total bill was $62.50. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.


5p + $12.50 = $62.50; p = $12.00


5p + $12.50 = $62.50; p = $10.00


5p + 12.5 p = $62.50; p = $3.57


5(p + $12.50) = $62.50; p = $7.75

He bought 5 shrubs.
1 shrub = 50/5 = 10
=$10

Answer:

The equation that we can come up with in order to find the price of each shrub would be :

 

12.50 + 5s = 62.50

 

S in this case is the variable assigned to find the value of each shrub  

 

5s = 62.50 - 12.50

 

5s = 50

 

s = 10

 

The price of each shrub would be $10. Hope I was helpful and good luck with questions of this type.
