Mrs. kelly creates a garden. she buys 15 flowers and 3 bushes for a total cost of $160.32. each bush costs $11.50 more than each flower. how much does each bush cost?

The cost of each bush is $ 18.49

Let "f" be the cost of each flower

Let "b" be the cost of each bush

Given that Mrs. Kelly buys 15 flowers and 3 bushes for a total cost of $160.32

15 flowers x cost of each flower + 3 bushes x cost of each bush = 160.32

15f + 3b = 160.32  ----- eqn 1

Each bush costs $11.50 more than each flower

Cost of each bush = 11.50 + cost of each flower

b = 11.50 + f  ------ eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "b" and "f"

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

15f + 3(11.50 + f) = 160.32

15f + 34.5 + 3f = 160.32

18f = 160.32 - 34.5

18f = 125.82

Substitute f = 6.99 in eqn 2

b = 11.50 + 6.99 = 18.49

Thus the cost of each bush is $ 18.49

step-by-step explanation:

ok one would be money, and the other would be refreshments or something similar. if each bag of popcorn is 5.00 and each drink is half of that that means drinks are 2.50 the proper way to do that would to look and see how much of each you can buy without exceeding a limit of 30.00
