At Briarwood Garden Shop's annual end-of-season sale, every plant in the shop gets marked down. Clare purchased 4 rosebushes during the sale. Each rosebush cost $12 less than its full price. She paid a total of $96. How much would each rosebush cost at full price?
Let's assume each rosebush costs x dollars at full price.
So, during the sale, each rosebush costs (x - $12).
Clare purchased 4 rosebushes, so the total cost would be 4 * (x - $12) = $96.
Simplifying the equation, we get 4x - $48 = $96.
Adding $48 to both sides, we get 4x = $144.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get x = $36.
Therefore, each rosebush would cost $36 at full price.
Let's assume the full price of each rosebush is X dollars.
During the sale, each rosebush is marked down by $12, so Clare paid X - 12 dollars for each rosebush.
Since Clare purchased 4 rosebushes, the total cost of all the rosebushes would be 4 * (X - 12) dollars.
According to the given information, Clare paid a total of $96. Therefore, we can write the equation:
4 * (X - 12) = 96
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of X:
4X - 48 = 96
4X = 96 + 48
4X = 144
X = 144 / 4
X = $36
Therefore, each rosebush would cost $36 at full price.
To find out the original price of each rosebush, we can use the given information in the question.
Let's assume the full price of each rosebush is "x" dollars.
According to the question, each rosebush was purchased at a discount of $12, so the discounted price of each rosebush would be "x - 12" dollars.
Since Clare purchased 4 rosebushes, and the total amount paid was $96, we can set up an equation to solve for "x":
4 * (x - 12) = 96
Now, let's solve for "x":
4x - 48 = 96
4x = 144
x = 36
Therefore, each rosebush would cost $36 at full price.
