Answer:
So price of one bouquet is $21.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Bouquets bought by him = 8
Price of shovel = $ 14.65
Total bill = $186.65
To find:
Price of bouquets = ?
Solution:
Let price of one bouquet be = $ x
Price of 8 bouquets = 8 * x
Now
Total bill = Price of 8 bouquets + Price of shovel
As we know the values putting in the values gives us the equation
186.65 = 8 * x +14.65
subtracting 14.65 from both sides
186.65 - 14.65 = 8 * x + 14.65 - 14.65
172 = 8 * x
Now dividing both sides by 8 to get the value of x
[tex]\frac{172}{8}=\frac{8*x}{8}[/tex]
Solving it gives
$ 21.5 =x
or
x = $ 21.5
So price of one bouquet is $21.5
