Kayla and totsakan each improved their yards by planting hostas and shrubs. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs, find the cost of one hosta and the cost of obe shrub.

one hosta = $5

One shrub = $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one hosta be h

Let the cost of one shrub be s

Kayla spent $80 on 8 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

8h + 5s = 80 i

Totsakan spent $85 on 9 hostas and 5 shrubs. This can be written as:

9h + 5s = 85 ii

8h + 5s = 80 i

9h + 5s = 85 ii

Subtract i from ii.

h = 5

The cost of one hosta is $5

Since 8h + 5s = 80

8(5) + 5s = 80

40 + 5s = 80

5s = 80 - 40

5s = 40

s = 40/5 = 8

One shrub cost $8.

answer: i would say b

step-by-step explanation:

with the way the question is worded, i believe b is the answer

the cost of the apple depends on the weight

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
