Question

. SHOPPING Mrs. Williams shops at a store that has an annual membership fee of $30. Today she paid her annual membership and bought several fruit baskets costing $15 each as gifts for her coworkers. Her total was $105. Solve the equation 15b + 30 = 105 to find the number of fruit baskets Mrs. Williams purchased.

Answer 1

Answer: Mrs. Williams purchased 5 fruit baskets.

Explanation:

Here , b= number of fruit baskets

Given equation: 15b + 30 = 105

Subtract 30 from both sides

15b = 105-30

⇒ 15b = 75

Divide both sides by 15 , we get

b= 5

Hence, Mrs. Williams purchased 5 fruit baskets.
