Juanita is planting a flower garden. She wants to plant 24 tulips, and twice as many daffodils as tulips. A tulip plant costs $3 . A daffodil plant costs $2. What is the total cost of the tulip and daffodil plants?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total cost is [tex]\$168[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of tulips

y-----> the number of daffodils

C-----> the total cost

we know that

[tex]x=24\ tulips[/tex]

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

substitute the value of x

[tex]y=2(24)=48\ daffodils[/tex]

Find the total cost

[tex]C=3x+2y[/tex]

substitute

[tex]C=3(24)+2(48)=\$168[/tex]
