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 + 12.5p = $62.50; p = $3.57

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

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

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