a customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for 12.50 and 5 shrubs. the total bill was 62.50 write and solvea n equation to find the price of each shrub
Let's say the price of each shrub is x dollars.
The total bill for the potting soil and the 5 shrubs is $62.50. So, we can write the equation:
12.50 + 5x = 62.50
Now we can solve for x:
5x = 62.50 - 12.50
5x = 50
x = 10
Therefore, the price of each shrub is $10.
