Acustomer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $12.50 and 5 shrubs. the total bill is $62.50. write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub. a. 5p + $12.50 = $62.50; p = $10.00 b. 5p + 12.5 p = $62.50; p = $3.57 c. 5(p + $12.50) = $62.50; p = $7.75 d. 5p + $12.50 = $62.50; p = $12.00

Well, let's make this easy and try to find the answer first. To do this, we must subtract the potting soil cost from the total. 62.50- 12.50 = 50. Now, divide by 5 because we need to find the total of 1 shrub only. 50/5=10. Now, which equation has p=10?A. 5p + $12.50 = $62.50; p = $10.00. Since the equation and answer is correct, A. 5p + $12.50 = $62.50; p = $10.00 is the answer. Hope this helped!

The answer of the above is
