Question

David is selling floral arrangements. Each arrangement uses 1 vase and 12 roses. Each vase costs David $2.00. Let C be the total cost of the arrangement and r be the cost of 1 rose. Which equation should David use to find the total cost of each arrangement? C = 12r + 2 12 = C + 2r C = 2r + 12 12C = r + 12

Answer 1

Answer:

C = 12r + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To model the equation for the cost of Each Arrangement.

We need to itemize all parameters needed.

An arrangement consists of

1. one vase

2. twelve roses

Given that 1 vase cost $2 and

The cost of one rose is r

Let the total cost of the arrangement be C

Hence C is the  cost of the vase plus the cost of 12 roses combined, this is given as

$C = 12r + 2$
