Question

Chloe is planning an event and purchasing floral arrangements. At Petals Plus, the arrangements cost $33.05 each, and the store charges $64.00 for delivery of the flowers to the event site. At Blooms, the arrangements cost $26.04 each, and the store charges $105.00 for delivery of the flowers to the event site. How many arrangements should she purchase from Blooms in order to get a better value? A. 6 B. 5 C. 4 D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Petals Plus = 33.05x + 64

Blooms = 26.04x + 105

Equate

33.05x + 64 = 26.04x + 105

33.05x - 26.04x = 105 - 64

7.01x = 41

x = 41 / 7.01

x = 5.85

She should purchase 6 arrangements from Blooms in order to get a better value

Check:

Petals Plus = 33.05x + 64

= 33.05(6) + 64

= 198.3 + 64

= 262.3

Blooms = 26.04x + 105

= 26.04(6) + 105

= 156.25 + 105

= 261.24

Petals Plus = 33.05x + 64

= 33.05(4) + 64

= 132.2 + 64

= 196.2

Blooms = 26.04x + 105

= 26.04(4) + 105

= 104.16 + 105

= 209.16
