A landscaping company sells 13 bushes and 4 trees for $616. Come up with an equation to describe this relationship. If trees cost $63, how much do bushes cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Bushes cost $28

Step-by-step explanation:

WE have:-

4*63  + 13b = 616         where b = cost of one bush.

252 + 13b = 616

13b = 616 - 252 =  364

b = 364/13

b =  28  (answer)


Based on the total cost of both bushes and trees and the quantity sold of each, the relevant equation is 13x + 4y = 616.

If the trees cost $63, the bushes cost $28.

The total cost of both the bushes and the trees is $616. To find this cost, use the formula:

= (Number of trees sold x Cost of trees) + (Number of bushes sold x Cost of bushes)

Assuming the number of bushes sold is x and the number of trees is y, equation is:

Total cost =  (Number of trees sold x Cost of trees) + (Number of bushes sold x Cost of bushes)

616 = 13x + 4y

If trees (y) = $63, bushes would be:

616 = 13x + 4 x 63

616 = 13x + 252

13x = 616 - 252

x = 364 / 13

x = $28 per bush

In conclusion, the bush costs $28 and the equation to find this is 13x + 4y = 616.
