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.

The expression that signifies Katherine’s final cost F= P + T= $466Calculation of final costThe number of pansies to be arranged around each tree = 15 pansiesThe cost of pansies(P) = 15 × 8 × 2.50 = $300The number of juniper trees available = 8The cost of the trees available(T) = 8 × 20.75= $166Therefore Katherine's final cost(F)= $300 + $166 = $466The expression to find Katherine’s final cost = F= P + TLearn more about addition here:
