Juanita wants to buy 254.7 pounds of mulch for her garden. The mulch usually costs $6.99 for 50 pounds. Juanita found a sale that gives her a price of $5.99 for 50 pounds if she buys more than 200 pounds. Which equation shows the first step to finding her savings if she takes advantage of the sale?
x = 254.7 divided by 50
x = 254.7 times 50
x = 254.7 times 5.99
x = 254.7 divided by 5.99
This is the first step to finding the best sale. You need to know how many 6.99 packages of mulch you need to cover your whole garde, to see how much you will pay for all of those packages
