Dean put together first boxes for 5 of his neighbors. Each box cost $1.00 and contained a plant and a $3.00 pair of gardening gloves. He spent a total of $42.50 on everything. How much did each plant cost?

Sagot :

(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50

5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50

Combine in parens.

5 x (4 + x) = 42.50

Distribute.

20 + 5x = 42.50

Subtract 20 from both sides.

5x = 22.50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 4.50

Thats the cost of each plant.

Check.

5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)

5 x 8.50 = 42.50
