Bethany sells roses and petunias. The expression 3r+2.5p3r+2.5p3, r, plus, 2, point, 5, p gives the cost (in dollars) of rrr roses and ppp petunias. What is the cost of 777 roses and 888 petunias?
I think the equation is written as 3r + 2.5p, where r is the number of roses and p is the number of petunias. To find the total cost, substitute 777 to r and 888 to p. The total cost would then be:
Total Cost = 3r + 2.5p Total Cost = 3(777) + 2.5(888) Total Cost = 4551
