Question

Wendy ordered bouquets for a wedding . Each bouquets cost 13.25 the total cost of bouquets was 118.75 including a 12.75 delivery fee. Which equation represent the number of bouquets b that wendy orderd

Answer 1

The equation would be:

$13.25b+12.75=118.75$

Solving for b,

$\begin{gathered} 13.25b+12.75=118.75 \\ \rightarrow13.25b=118.75-12.75\rightarrow13.25b=105\rightarrow b=\frac{106}{13.25} \\ \Rightarrow b=8 \end{gathered}$

Thereby, Wendy would've ordered 8 bouquets.
