Reply:if I tell you then I'm doing your homework for you, then how are you going to learn anything?
Reply:You do this....


16.00


-03.50 this is the babys breath!


______


12.50 then you divide by 2.50 to find the number or roses you can get


the answere is 5
Reply:tell him six bucks for a rose and baby breath because times are hard. $2.50 + $3.50 = $6.00 and your done!
Reply:16=3.50 + 2.50 x


subtract 3.50 from both sides and then divide by 2.50 on each side
Reply:ok heres what to do you have sixteen dollars so you only want one bunch of baby's breath so take 3.50 from sixteen


16.00


-3.50


``````````


12.50





then take the remaining 12.50 and see how many times 2.50 will go into it..(or multiply 2.50 untill you reach the closest number to 12.50)


12.50 / 2.50 ( / = divide sign)(which will come up five)


or


2.50 x 5 (in this case the awnser is five)





so the awnser would be you can buy five roses





hope this helps

Reply:ok you would do





16 - 3.50 = 2.50x





now just do order of operations and you'll get it. :)


P.E.M.D.A.S
Reply:$16-$3.50= $12.50





$12.50/$2.50=5





You will have 5 roses and one bunch of baby's breath for $16.
Reply:its 5 batches of roses i think i just need the pionts so i dont think i'm right i just made my answer up..what grade are you in that is the easiest question just i dont feel like doing math right now srry...
Reply:it is quite simple.


let x be the no. of bouquets and y b the no. of baby's breaths you buy.


1. you bought one bouquet of yellow roses. so, the amount you have is 16-2.50 = 15.50$.


let x be the no. of baby's breaths you can buy.


so, x*3.5=13.5 =%26gt;x=13.5/3.5 = 3.86. since you cant buy a fraction of it, you can only buy three of this.


so, youbuy one bouquet of rose and 3 bouquets of baby roses.


or, similarly, if you buy one bby's breatj, you are left with 16-3.50=12.50.


so, the no. of roses you can buy is 12.50/2.50=5 roses.

Reply:16= 3.50b + 2.50r (b for babys breath, r for roses)





16= 3.50(1) + 2.50r


16 - 3.50 =2.50r


12.50 = 2.50r


r =12.50/2.50


r=5


so you can buy five roses.
Reply:OK. Let C=Cash available = $16.


Let B = cost of baby's breath (bunch)= $3.50.


Let R = cost of 1 rose = $2.50


Let N=no. of roses.


Firstly C-B = $16- $3.50= $12.50.


Secondly $12.50/R= 5


You can therefore buy 5 roses.


Equation might be (C-B)/R =N


Hope this helps.

Amt. Price Total


Roses: x 2.50 2.50x


BabyBreth: 1 3.50 3.50





so 2.5x+3.5= 16
