Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for planting five trees, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Fee} + (\text{Cost per Tree} \times \text{Number of Trees}) \]

Given:

• Base Fee = $85.00
• Cost per Tree = $10.00
• Number of Trees = 5

Now, substituting the values:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 85 + (10 \times 5) = 85 + 50 = 135 \]

Therefore, the total cost to hire Smith Landscaping to plant five trees is $135.00.
