Question

plus $10 per tree they plant. How much will it cost a
client to hire Smith Landscaping to plant 7 trees?

Answer 1

To find the total cost for hiring Smith Landscaping to plant 7 trees, we can break down the charges as follows:

1. Initial charge: $75
2. Cost per tree planted: $10
3. Number of trees: 7

Now, calculate the total cost for planting the trees:

\[ \text{Cost for trees} = \text{Number of trees} \times \text{Cost per tree} = 7 \times 10 = 70 \]

Next, add the initial charge to the total cost of planting the trees:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Initial charge} + \text{Cost for trees} = 75 + 70 = 145 \]

Therefore, the total cost for hiring Smith Landscaping to plant 7 trees is $145.
