Michelle bought some potted plants.
Petunias cost $7 per pot.
Begonias cost $8 per pot.
She bought 22 potted plants and spent a total of $163. How many petunias did she buy?
Let x be the number of petunias Michelle bought.
The number of begonias she bought would then be 22 - x.
The total cost can be expressed as:
7x + 8(22-x) = 163
Simplifying this equation:
7x + 176 - 8x = 163
-x = -13
x = 13
Therefore, Michelle bought 13 petunias.
