Question 1144476: The parks department will be responsible for planting all of the trees for the tree-planting program. According to the tree nursery, each newly planted tree will need a layer of organic mulch. The nursery estimates that each cherry tree planted will require 20 pounds of mulch, each dogwood tree 25 pounds of mulch and each myrtle tree 20 pounds of mulch. The nursery sells mulch for $34.95 a ton. It does not sell fractions of a ton.
How much money will the parks department need in order to purchase mulch for all the trees in your proposal?
