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!
