7. A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $17.50 and 4 shrubs. The total bill was $53.50. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.

A. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $9.00

B. 4p + 17.5p = $53.50; p = $2.49

C. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $11.25

D. 4(p + $17.50) = $53.50; p = $4.00

 A. 4p + $17.50 = $53.50; p = $9.00

1:  17.50+4p=  Nothing further can be done with this topic. Please check the expression entered or try another topic.

17.5 + 4 p

2:  4p=53.50-17.50=  4p=53.50-17.50

Step-by-step explanation:  9

The total bill: $53.50

17.50 + 4 x = 53.50

4 x = 53.50 - 17.50

4 x = 36

x = 36 : 4

x = $9

The price of each shrub is $9.

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let   be the price of each shrub.

4 shrubs at    each costs    dollars

Potting soil is $17.50

Hence, total cost is the expression  

We know that total bill is $53.50, so we can equate it to the expression:

This equation can be solved for    to find cost of each shrub.

Solving for    gives us:

So price of each shrub is $9
