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 solvea n equation to find the price of each shrub

Answer 1

Let's say the price of each shrub is x dollars.

The total bill for the potting soil and the 5 shrubs is $62.50. So, we can write the equation:

12.50 + 5x = 62.50

Now we can solve for x:

5x = 62.50 - 12.50
5x = 50
x = 10

Therefore, the price of each shrub is $10.
