Answer:

Landscape supply business will take [tex]\$ 209[/tex] to deliver 6 cubic yard of mulch at the site.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A landscape supply business charges [tex]\$35[/tex] to deliver mulch.

∴Fixed charge = [tex]\$35[/tex]

Rate of Per cubic yard of mulch = [tex]\$29[/tex]

Let the number of cubic yard be [tex]x[/tex]

Total Cost =Fixed charges + Rate of Per cubic yard of mulch [tex]\times[/tex] number of cubic yard

Total Cost = [tex]\$35 +\$29x[/tex]

We need to find total cost to deliver 6 cubic  yard of mulch at site [tex]x=6[/tex].

Total Cost to deliver 6 cubic  yard of mulch at site = [tex]\$35 + \$29 \times 6 = \$35 + \$ 174 = \$ 209[/tex]
