Geraniums in 6” pots cost $4 each and daisy plants cost $6 each.
\n" ); document.write( " The youth group spent $410 on 80 plants.
\n" ); document.write( "How many geraniums and how many daisy plants did the group buy?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let g = no. of Geraniums
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = no. of Daisies
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The no. of plants equation
\n" ); document.write( "g + d = 80
\n" ); document.write( "g = (80-d); we can use this for substitution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The cost equation
\n" ); document.write( "4g + 6d = 410
\n" ); document.write( "replace g with (80-d)
\n" ); document.write( "4(80-d) + 6d = 410
\n" ); document.write( "320 - 4d + 6d = 410
\n" ); document.write( "-4d + 6d = 410 - 320
\n" ); document.write( "2d = 90
\n" ); document.write( "d = 90/2
\n" ); document.write( "d = 45 daisies
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "g = 80 - 45
\n" ); document.write( "g = 35 geraniums
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check these solutions by finding the total cost
\n" ); document.write( "4(35) + 6(45) =
\n" ); document.write( "140 + 270 = 410
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
