A local florist charges $15 for delivery plus $2.75 per flower for all flower arrangements. When Marcus got the bill for a flower arrangement he ordered, it was less than $50. Which of the following could not represent the number of flowers in the arrangement Marcus ordered?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

All Charges

$15 for delivery

and $2.75 per flower

let the number of flowers delivered be x

and the total charges for x flowers be y

the linear function for the total charges is

y=2.75x+15

Step two:

when y=$50

50=2.75x+15

50-15=2.75x

35=2.75x

divide both sides by 2.75

x=35/2.75

x=12.72

Note: we are not given the options. We only solved for the flower arrangements

Therefore the number of flowers in the arrangement Marcus ordered

is 12.72 flowers

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
