Kip buys 8 bouquets of flowers (for the same price) and a shovel for $14.65. if his total bill was $186.65, how much was each bouquet of flowers? show an equation or inequality and solve.

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

Solving it gives

$ 21.5 =x

or

x = $ 21.5

So price of one bouquet is $21.5
