Katherine is landscaping her home with juniper trees and
pansies. she wants to arrange 15 pansies around each
of 8 trees. each tree costs $20.75 and a six-pack of
pansies costs $2.50. explain how to write an expression
to find katherine's final cost.
sample response: the total cost of the trees must be
added to the total cost of the pansies. the tree cost is
the cost of one tree times eight. the pansy cost is the
cost for 15 pansies multiplied by 8 trees, then divided
by the number of pansies in a pack: 20.75(8) + 2.50(15)
(8) = 6.
check all that you included in your response.
katherine needs 15(8) pansies.
the total cost of the trees is 20.75(8).
the cost of the pansies is 15(8) (2.50) + 6.
