Answer:

D. 9p + $11.50 = $94.75; p = $9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation,

                                $11.50 + 9p = $94.75

The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter D.

p---------> the price of each scrub

s----------> the price of the potting soil

T--------> total bill
