A florist sells a dozen roses for $35.40. She sells individual roses for the same unit cost. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of roses, x, and the total cost of the roses, y. How much would 18 roses cost?

The equation is

The cost of 18 roses is 53.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A florist sells a dozen roses for 35.40. She sells individual roses for the same unit price.

Now, to find the cost of 18 roses and write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of roses, x, and the total cost of the roses, y.

1 dozen = 12.

Now, to get the cost of 18 roses we use unitary method:

If 12 roses cost = 35.40.

So, 1 roses cost = 2.95.

Thus, 18 roses cost = 53.10.

Therefore, the cost of 18 roses = 53.10.

Now, to write an equation the relationship between the number of roses and the total cost of the roses:

Cost of per rose = 2.95.

As, given in question:

Number of roses =

Total cost of the roses =

Total cost of the roses = Cost of per rose × Number of roses.

So, the equation is:

Therefore, the equation is And the cost of 18 roses is 53.10.

you would have to sell 24 bracelets.

step-by-step explanation:

84/3.5 = 24

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
